- Introduction
-
Reducing youth crime is central to building safer communities and to tackle the problem of social exclusion. We work closely with the probation service, the police, and the health service to tackle the problem of offending antisocial behaviour by young people. We're a multi-agency unit that aims to work effectively with others to reduce the level and impact of youth crime in Rochdale borough.
An important part of the team’s work involves providing pre-sentence reports to court to decide on suitable sentences and supervising a range of court orders that help young people avoid further offending. We also provide a range of services to the court, young people who have committed offences, their families and the community in Rochdale borough including victims.
