This evaluation report on the Garda Youth Diversion Projects suggests that a set of guidelines are required in order to develop a planned and strategic approach for the prevention of juvenile crime.
Garda Youth Diversion Projects are community based, multi-agency crime prevention initiatives which seek to divert young people from becoming involved (or further involved) in anti-social and/or criminal behaviour by providing suitable activities to facilitate personal development and promote civic responsibility. The Garda Youth Diversion Projects are funded by the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform and administered through Garda Community Relations Section.
