The context of the Give Us Your Time project is to raise young people’s awareness of the dangers involved in crime and the problems it can cause. We have worked in partnership with Cambridgeshire Constabulary to bring accurate information to young people about the crimes young people commit, the sentences young people can be given in court and the warnings and criminal records that young people can pick up for different crimes. It is hard growing up and if you get into a wrong crowd you can soon see yourself having a criminal record. We at the Young People’s Office (Peterborough Youth Service) are trying to show young people that it doesn’t have to be like this and saying no sometimes is a much easier way out of crime.
