Youth Crime Prevention through Sport
Youth face many challenges that make them vulnerable to crime, violence and victimization, and it is key that their development is supported so that they can positively contribute to society. Using sports to provide positive experiences and support healthy development in young people, UNODC works to reduce anti-social behaviour by building important life skills that increase adaptive and positive behaviour among at-risk youth.
Publications
UNODC is providing prison administrations and related stakeholders with technical guidance on how to initiate and/or enhance rehabilitation programmes, in close coordination with other (non-)governmental stakeholders, including civil society and the private sector. All guidance and advisory services are based on international standards and rules.
Projects
UNODC assists Member States in breaking the cycle of re-offending by supporting the implementation of new or enhanced prison-based effective rehabilitation and social reintegration programmes in 10 countries wolrdwide with a focus on access to educational, vocational and work programmes to increase prisoners' skills and employability upon release.
Brands
UNODC is supporting the creation of national brands of prison products aimed at enhancing prisoners' work and products with a view to generate income for prisoners, increase their self-esteem, qualifications, and employability upon release, as well as, more generally, to raise awareness in the general public that prisoners are a continuous part of society.
