Youth Justice: Targeting Interventions Effectively

20-22 April 2010 | University of Nottingham

Effective targeting of interventions to those who need them most, and tailoring them to meet individual needs, is at the heart of the Government's youth justice strategy outlined in the Youth Crime Action Plan. It underlies the commitment to deliver targeted youth support, and provides the rationale for the introduction of the Youth Justice Board's scaled approach and the youth rehabilitation order.

Getting it right is key to diverting children away from crime, reducing reoffending and maximising young people's future potential. In a period of economic restraint, effective targeting is also vital to ensure that service provision is delivered in a way that makes the best use of available resources.

Nacro’s Annual Youth Crime Conference is a key event on the youth justice calendar and attracts up to 300 delegates across 2 and a half days.
