	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/03/2019 answer text <p>The last survey carried out by the Home Office into the characteristics of children and young people involved in crime was the Offending, Crime and Justice Survey in 2006 which was a self-report survey of a sample of young people aged 10 to 25 asking about their involvement in offending, drug use and anti-social behaviour.</p><p>However, the Home Office makes use of a wide range of survey, academic and administrative data to inform government’s understanding of the risk factors for children and young people becoming involved in crime. This evidence has been drawn upon to inform the Modern Crime Prevention Strategy (2016) and, more recently, the Serious Violence Strategy (2018). Deprivation has been identified as one a wide range of risk factors associated with involvement in offending. However, these risks interact in complex ways to make some people more prone to involvement in crime than others. The evidence also shows that not all those who grow up in poverty go on to become offenders, and not all offenders come from deprived backgrounds.</p> answering member constituency Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner answering member printed Mr Nick Hurd grouped question UIN 232051 question first answered 18/03/2019 17:17:13 answering member 1561 label Biography information for Mr Nick Hurd

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/07/2019 answer text <p>The Serious Violence Strategy, published in April last year, sets out our assessment of the risk and protective factors which impact on an individual’s likelihood of becoming involved in serious violence as a victim or perpetrator. The impact of adverse childhood experiences are highlighted within this context. The Strategy stresses the importance of early intervention to tackle the root causes of serious violence and provide young people with the skills and resilience to lead productive lives free from violence. We are investing in early intervention through the £22 million Early Intervention Youth Fund and the longer term £200 million Youth Endowment Fund, to ensure those most at risk are given the opportunity to turn away from crime and violence and lead positive lives.</p><p>Through the Police Transformation Fund, we have also awarded £6.87m to South Wales Police for three years from 2017/18 onwards to deliver the Early Action Together (EAT) project with all four police forces in Wales and a range of partners. The police are working in collaboration with Public Health Wales to develop and test a new approach to policing, which prevents and mitigates Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). The project aims to prevent further crime from being committed and stop the generational cycle of offending by providing the right support early to vulnerable people, which in turn reduces demand on services such as policing and health.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 18/07/2019 16:03:30 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins
