3. •contribute to the reduction of anti-social behaviour and racial harassment through a comprehensive approach using the models of integrated delivery with existing or planned initiatives and the local communities.
   

4. •contribute to the reduction of criminality and crime (especially vehicle-related) amongst Young People through models of practice that reflect their interests and needs.
