Crime Prevention
Physical activity and sport can bring a wide influence to bear. Across Wales, sport is increasingly being used to combat social exclusion and anti-social behaviour.
When sport is promoted to marginalised and disadvantaged young people, it can:
- reduce youth criminal activity;
- lower truancy rates;
- build self-esteem, confidence and hope for the future;
- help individuals realise their potential;
- reduce anti-social behaviour in the community.
