We do this by finding out what works and building a movement to put this knowledge into practice. In recent years violent crime has risen significantly. Homicides, assaults, robberies and offences involving weapons have all seen sustained growth. We have also seen large increases in violent crime involving children and young people.

We are looking for someone to lead on making this happen. Key Responsibilities We are making good progress building the evidence of what works within and around youth justice to reduce violence.
