Crime in Norway among young people - what is the situation?

A special report on crime among children and youth in Oslo was recently conducted. Unfortunately, crime among youth and minors has been increasing since 2015. The report was prepared specifically as part of the SaLTo program. The effect of cooperation municipal authorities and the capital police.

Where is the problem?

According to experts, the problem lies in minimizing preventive activities. More attention should be paid to control small and large communities of children and youth.
