What works to prevent youth violence: key findings

What is out of scope?

This report focuses on pre-criminal justice and prevention-focused interventions. Interventions that focus exclusively on reducing violence perpetration in young people (rather than preventing it from happening) are therefore out of scope.

However the What Works to Reduce Reoffending (2015) report, which is due to be updated in 2021, will review the international evidence on programmes to reduce reoffending. The full out of scope list is available in main What Works to Prevent Youth Violence report here.
