6 Conclusion

This course has looked at ways that those working in policing and other agencies can work more effectively with children and young people. Rather than just focusing on laws and social norms, we have looked at ways in which those in policing roles can engage more effectively with youth and young people.

A key element of this relates to an understanding of factors such as Adverse Childhood Experiences, as well as programmes that can be implemented to better support youth and young people better overcome the challenges they encounter.
