Question to the Home Office:
What steps is he taking to divert young people away from violent crime.
Diverting young people away from crime is at the heart of the Serious Violence Strategy.
I have just awarded £17.7m to support 29 projects working with young people through the Early Intervention Youth Fund,and I am setting up a new £200m Youth Endowment Fund to provide long term support to stop children getting involved in crime and violence.
