Teaching children and young people about crime and justice could help to reduce their own chances of offending or going to prison, according to an education charity.
The charity, Prison! Me! No Way! claims that youth crime and violence has fallen by as much as 44 per cent in some areas that implement its education programmes. It has called for greater emphasis on pre-emptive teaching to discourage children from criminal activity.
The charity, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary this week, offers insights into various aspects of crime and justice, from workshops to meeting individuals involved in the criminal justice system. These include prisoners, offenders and police and prison officers.
