Greater Manchester Police have commissioned CPRL to undertake an evaluation of a mentoring intervention programme designed support 60 young people (under 18 years) impacted by serious and violent crime.  The overarching aim of the scheme is to prevent children and young people's future involvement in serious organised criminal activity and violence, both as perpetrators and victims.  The evaluation will involve before and after interviews with young people as they enter and leave the programme, and focus groups with mentors delivering the programme.
