The World

There would be more youth clubs involving education and more role models and mentors for young people.
I would have events running on Tuesdays and Thursdays so it wouldn't seem like a long time until the next event for the people that attend.
Youth clubs would also take young people on trips to places like the Natural History Museum, the Science Museum, Thorpe Park, Cadbury World and many more. They would also do long-distance trips to places such as the Lake District and Wales.
Police would do their job: stop crime. They wouldn't do it because they had to - they'd do it because they wanted to. I would help young people to learn skills that they need in life. If they have been kicked out of school, I would help them resume learning. I would have special schools for them with teachers prepared for behavioural problems. I would also have sessions for them with counsellors so they could talk about any problems they may have in life. They would also have anger management classes if needed.
Hopefully, by doing all this, Britain would become a better place.
