ACTION
Young people affected by violent crime or at risk of involvement in criminal behaviour are being helped to turn their lives around by a partnership project in Leicestershire.
The Violence Intervention Project (VIP) has been commissioned by the county’s Violence Reduction Network (VRN), one of 21 violence reduction units (VRUs) across the UK committed to tackling the root causes of violence.
The project is funded through the Home Office’s Reach Custody initiative which aims to support young people up to the age of 25 who have been in custody or have a recent history of a violent offence or carrying a weapon.
