Funding To Tackle Youth Violence
The news that the government will give extra funding to fight Youth Violence and knife crime, does not go far enough.
What the government has to do is find extra funding to put more police officers on the street, to curb this youth problem, they need something to do.
Put extra funding into finding ways of getting the youths off the streets, ie jobs, opening community centres, which have been closed
In various parts of this country you have youths roaming the streets causing anti social behaviour as they have nothing to do but cause trouble.
Unemployment is bad all over the UK, that money can go into getting business up and running that can take youths off the streets.
Charities will enjoy this input of cash, but again the government must do more to curb this problem. We have a community Centre near us that has been closed for the past five years due to lack of funding, by day it is used as a furniture shop.
