Shadow CS anti-gun and knife week
 Following the recent high-profile reports of gun and knife crime among young people, Crimestoppers' youth website www.shadowcs.co.uk for 11 to 16 year olds, is running an anti-gun and knife week starting on Monday 30th June. Evlambios Christophi, Shadow CS Web Assistant, said: "The week on Shadow CS is a great tool to encourage young people to discuss the issue of gun and knife crime anonymously. They will be able to play our new 'Gun Runner' animation developed with the help of young people in South London, as well as our existing 'Knife Drop' game".

Blue Blindfold human trafficking campaign
 Kent, Sussex, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight Crimestoppers are teaming up with the UK Human Trafficking Centre (UKHTC) to launch a Blue Blindfold human trafficking campaign during the summer. The UKHTC campaign seeks to raise the public's awareness about what to look for in their communities which might indicate that someone is working against their will. The campaign will encourage the public to question what they see and tell someone if they are suspicious. Read more about the Blue Blindfold human trafficking campaign

Crime policies have been hotly debated in the UK recently - problems spring up quickly, action is demanded and very soon a government initiative is formed. In the second part of his two-part series for Crimestoppers, Professor Peter Squires looks at whether ASBOs are working, and questions if failing methods of dealing with anti-social behaviour among young people has led to the violent crimes they are now being associated with.
