West Worcestershire MP Harriett Baldwin has praised the efforts of a county charity which helps young people avoid becoming career criminals.
The MP visited YSS, in Bransford, with officials from the probation service and police to see some of the challenges young offenders face re-integrating into society.
Harriett Baldwin MP commented: “It makes so much sense to work with younger offenders to try to address the problems that might lead to reoffending.
“Prevention of crime is very important and it is good to see a local charity and volunteers getting such impressive results with younger offenders."
