Young adult safety
Many young adults face the fear, or the reality, of violence in their lives.
The state and its agencies have an important role to play in tackling the violence faced by young adults and a responsibility to ensure greater safety for this age group. But current approaches are one-sided. Too dominated by policies and practices that seek to police, prosecute and punish, too weak on approaches that offer lasting solutions.
Working in partnership with others, this project will develop a shared knowledge base on current state approaches – how they might help and how they might harm – and consolidate collective knowledge and experience on what effective action, and meaningful change, might look like.
We are grateful to the Barrow Cadbury Trust for funding this work.
