The aim of pre-crime prevention is to identify children and young people who are at high risk of offending and help them to avoid entering the Youth Justice System.

The Youth Justice Board has developed a variety of programmes which are intended to achieve this aim. You can find the Youth Justice Board website at www.yjb.gov.uk (opens new window).

On a local level, we have collaborations with various local and community organisations to divert young people from offending. Information on these partnerships can be found on other pages specifically relating to drugs, alcohol and crime.
