Breaking it down: So what’s in the Crime Fund Policy Plan specifically for youth?

In Great Bay, the 2026 Crime Fund plan features a youth-specific package of interventions targeting minors and first-time juvenile offenders. This multifaceted approach includes diversion programs, therapy for trauma or aggression, and structured community service. Additionally, it offers skills training in areas such as maritime certification, construction, and entrepreneurship support. The plan further incorporates martial arts, steel pan, calypso, mentoring programs, and specific interventions to address youth gun violence, collectively aiming to tackle youth crime through a comprehensive strategy rather than a single program.
