Crime and Disorder

The third phase of the Home Office Disrespect Nobody campaign will run from 29 March to the beginning of May 2018.

On the Out is a project made up of men and women who have experienced life in prison. On the Out knows the barriers faced upon leaving prison because they have `been there`.

And that coming out with nowhere to stay can make the difference between a new life, and ending up back inside.

Police, local authorities, Greater Manchester Combined Authority, young people and an MP have launched a campaign to stop criminal gangs from grooming children and vulnerable adults to commit crime.

The campaign, known as ‘Trapped’, aims to raise awareness of criminals who are grooming and exploiting children and young adults to commit crime on their behalf.
Offenders take victims from urban areas to the countryside or coastal areas to sell drugs. Sometimes victims are trafficked closer to home, and are moved around Greater Manchester.
