Changing lanes: Promoting resilience to reoffending with young men experiencing adversity – Chalkie, Hits Man, Grumpz, Gaz, John, Marcus, Mouse with Claire Stubbs

Welcome to Changing Lanes… a toolkit based on a piece of research carried out locally, that helps us understand what can be done to support young men who have been involved in crime to find different paths. The toolkit shares the voices of eight young people who took part in the research. The aim of producing the booklet is to support your discussions and practice interventions with young people who have either been involved in criminal behaviour or who you feel may be at risk in the future.

The Changing Lanes booklet was written by a group of young men who all have experience on the sharp end of the criminal justice system. The guide can be viewed online and downloaded (external link).
