New Philanthropy Capital is a think tank which seeks to enhance the effectiveness of charities through their research and advice. Trial and Error- Children and young people in trouble with the law, their most recent report, provides a guide to charities on the issue of young offenders and how charities should tackle this problem.
Working with relevant organisations, NPC has compiled and produced a report which outlines the nature and scale of youth offending, and outlines a 'what works' approach, highlighting some of the innovative and promising ways that charities are helping young people to stay out of trouble.
The report also examines the strengths and weaknesses within the youth justice sector, outlines the role government plays, and highlights areas where investment could create greatest impact.
