Crime: Young People

Answer: The Youth Crime Seminar on 8 November 2007 was held as a series of events on youth crime, as part of the preparation on the youth crime action plan for publication summer 2008. The action plan aims to deliver results across youth crime prevention, youth justice as well as cross cutting themes on youth victimisation and youth violence. There were no formal minutes produced—instead, officials who were present took note of the points raised so that they could be fed into discussion during the development of the Youth Crime Action Plan. The seminar was followed up by the key Departments contacting those who attended as part of the work to get views and inputs into the Youth Crime Action Plan. A future date and attendees list for any forthcoming seminar has not yet been confirmed.
