Helpline to deter youth crime

A new web site and help line aimed at young offenders is
launched today.

The new government funded Rizer services aim to deter criminal
behaviour and offer guidance on issues such as guns, violence,
drugs, theft and racism.

The Rizer helpline will give advice and information 7 days a
week, 365 days a year to young people at risk of becoming involved
in crime. Advisors from Connexions Direct will staff the helpline,
but one to one legal advice will also be available.

A website, also launched today, will provide more guidance and
information, or young people can request information by text
message.
