Police nationwide are to target known young tearaways to stop them turning into habitual offenders.

If this is so, then there must be local projects run by police on your patch.

Could it be funding for a new youth centre or a brand new range of activity programmes at an existing one?

Maybe officers are being allocated time on shift specifically to go around all the schools in your town.

Perhaps even psychologists have become involved to find out the root causes of endless offending among the youth.

The scope is endless – local youth workers, beat bobbies or a school headmaster perhaps.
