Churches release report to tackle youth crime

July 21, 2008

A new report is published today looking at new ways at tackling youth crime.

It's released by Churches Together in England and titled 'Who is my neighbour'.

One theme that comes out is that church leaders should be living in the areas with the problems.

By doing that they would give themselves more credibility in the deprived areas.

Patrick Regan is from Christian youth charity XLP and lives in Peckham in South East London.
