Tackling youth violence in the UK
А Read the introduction. What harmful behaviours covered by the term ‘youth violencetask does the text mention? Can you add any more?
Without a doubt, youth violence is a problem worldwide. The World Health Organisation (WHO) estimates that there are roughly 250,000 deaths per year for the 10- 29 year old age group that result from crime. Youth violence has been diminishing in developed nations, but physical fighting is still quite common and anywhere from 8% to 40% of young people suffer from bullying. Naturally, any kind of violence is harmful to onetasks physical state of being, but youth violence in particular, because it occurs early in a persontasks development, can have a lasting and potentially devastating impact on mental well-being. To combat the problem, the WHO focuses on a number of initiatives, such as drawing attention to the problem as well as studying different types of violence in order to isolate specific solutions. The organization also works with agencies such as counselling centres, which help adolescents cope with their problems, and mental health organizations, which aid in stamping out the roots of youth violence before they grow.

While much has been done over the years to address the issue of youth violence, parents, teachers, law enforcement officers and teenagers still face it on a daily basis.

Every day in London, nearly four youths are victims of knife attacks and almost seven are robbed at knifepoint. For those youths carrying knives, clearly they are not considering the consequences and how it can shatter their lives. Many youths that commit crimes do so for obvious reasons such as money, В but a surprising number of them do it for fun Londontasks Metropolitan Police decided to launch a campaign on YouTube in which viewers watch a series of films. After viewing a clip, users can choose the next event, effectively deciding an outcome. The series was created to show young people the consequences of their actions so that they will make better decisions C when faced with such choices in real life.
In Glasgow, one district has enlisted the efforts of community groups to help youths and other residents battle drug addiction. The groups allow those v/ho once misused drugs to learn new skills D while getting their lives back on track. Activities range from building sailboats, making furniture, participating in sport and volunteering in the community. The tasks give a sense of direction and purpose to the participants and as the programme has been successful, local officials are hoping to expand the effort to include the rest of the country.
In Blackburn and Blackpool, northwest England, a charity has set up a site for teens to post photographs related to incidences of crime as well as youth problems in general. The site was developed in response to adolescents who told the charity that youth crime in the area was their most troubling issue. Young people have actually lent their voices to solutions on a range of social problems such as drugs, graffiti and neighbourhood pollution. Concerning the latter, teens suggested that the city clean out the rubbish bins more often - a quite practical solution, and tend to public gardens more often. The charity hopes to learn more about E what drives teens to commit crimes in the first place and encourages teens to write about their experiences.
In Devon, southeast England, a rehabilitation centre for adolescents claims to have an astounding success rate concerning the reduction of repeat crime offenders. Less than 25% of young people admitted to the programme go on to commit another crime. The centre offers an 11 -week course which the centre claims can reduce the number of youths who end up in prison. The programmetasks success has attracted national attention and government leaders have met with the programmetasks administrators to learn more about the centre and F what makes its programme so successful.
