Cabinet produces crime prevention plan, approves “youth mainstreaming” initiative

By Aaron Humes: Acutely aware of the situation with crime and its ties to youth, the Ministries of Home Affairs, Youth and Human Development have produced their plan for preventing crime.

Cabinet approved a three-pronged approach to crime prevention that is centered on social development, change behavior and violence interrupter components complemented by evidence-based policing.

Also, Cabinet approved an initiative by the Ministry of Youth, Sports & E-Governance to provide for youth mainstreaming in Belize. Youth mainstreaming is a strategy which provides young people with opportunities to partake in skills training and other important roles as a means of becoming involved in the leadership of society in the future.

Today’s Cabinet brief report said, “Many young people need training in areas that cannot be provided by the private sector of our society but which can be provided by government departments such as Fisheries, Health, Mining and Geology so that they can gain experience or become interested in the future with the aim that they will be the leaders in those areas as well as mainstream society.”
