Reducing crime rates among South Africa's young
South Africa has one of the highest crime rates in the world, and half of the offenders incarcerated are aged between 12 and 25. Once out of the prisons, the risk of recidivism is eighty per cent in the first six months. A not for profit South African organisation has had great success reducing that rate, as well as keeping young offenders out of the prison system.
