Crime, Offending and Anti-social Behaviour
Our belief is that positive change is possible for everyone. Therefore, a key objective is to maximise opportunities for offenders to make amends for their crime, develop constructive links with their families and communities, tackle the underlying reasons behind their offending and make good use of a range of support services when they leave prison and resettle in the community.
We are also serious about community cohesion and respect between generations – we develop and support projects to this end.
