Chris Huhne MP & Denis Healy PPC with Hull Youth Workers
Chris Huhne MP, Lib Dem Shadow Home Secretary, visited a Hull Youth Service Centre to learn about the exciting work being done with Hull's young people. Accompanied by Denis Healy PPC for Hull North, Chris was briefed by senior youth workers as well as senior Hull City Officers.
Also present were members of Humberside Police,who were working alongside the Youth Workers in their attempts to provide the young people of the city with places of safety to 'hang out' and enjoy themselves.
Ways of dealing with youth crime were discussed and Chris raised the practice used in some Liberal Democrat areas to deflect young minor law-breakers from the Juvenile Courts. This policy had reduced youth crime enormously and prevented youngsters from gaining a criminal record.
