Plans to tackle Knowsley’s “endemic” youth crime issues by preventing children falling down the “wrong path” have been outlined.
At a meeting of Knowsley’s Children and Families board, an update was provided by Merseyside Police ’s Knowsley community policing superintendent Karl Baldwin on the work being carried out across the borough to deter Knowsley’s young people from getting involved in crime.
Superintendent Baldwin said prevention is at the core of a new strategy developed by chief constable Serena Kennedy – with a number of key initiatives being rolled out across Knowsley.
