Analysing Prevention and Early Intervention Policy Strategies
In April 2008 CCJS held a seminar to discuss approaches to preventing youth crime. The seminar was attended by senior policy makers, practitioners and academics. The presentations were as follows
- Violent crime and young people. How should prevention strategies respond to `gangs', guns and knives - Professor John Pitts, University of Bedfordshire
- Attachment theories and links to the onset of aggression - Dr Felicity de Zulueta, Consultant Pyschiatrist and Director, Traumatic Stress Service, Maudsley Hospital
- Prevention and Early Intervention: Lessons from the Sure Start programme - Karen Clarke, Senior Lecturer in Social Policy, University of Manchester
A book to produced by Policy Press will be published later in 2008 including the presentations from the seminar and additional contributions.
