The 2008 UK government Youth Crime Action Plan emphasises
prevention and early intervention in different aspects of work with
young people who offend or are considered to be 'at risk' of
offending. Much of this approach includes targeted work with
families and work to reduce the numbers of young people entering
the youth justice system. This report takes a critical look at
early intervention policies. Through contributions from leading
experts on youth work and criminal justice it considers the
development of integrated and targeted youth support services and
the implications for practice of early intervention policies;
analyses the causes of serious violent crime through consideration
of issues that address gangs and guns; provides an evaluation of
the government's early intervention strategy through the
examination of its Sure Start programme and other family
initiatives; identifies the psychobiological effects of violence on
children and links them to problem behaviour; considers the impacts
of family intervention projects and parenting work and compares
approaches to early intervention across different jurisdictions and
examines the lessons for practice in England and Wales.
