Who are
children and young people?
Pre-school
Two-four year olds. Although these children are too young for serious
messages they might understand simple concepts.
School
years 1-2
This is an impressionable age and the children's maturity varies greatly. It
is a good age for some messages but they may be scared by too much
information.
School
years 3-6
The children's maturity varies. Some children are sensitive and easily
scared. Others need almost to be shocked for you to get and keep their
attention. They are very interested in, and aware of, crime and they are
potentially good messengers.
Secondary school
Again the children's maturity varies greatly. Some will be conscious of ,
and maybe involved in crime as victims or perpetrators. Others may not feel
it is an issue that affects them. Their personal attitudes and influences
play a big part in their opinions and participation.
