Reduced Victimisation Rates: Successful redirection away from violence could contribute to a reduction in victimisation rates among young males, addressing the disproportionate impact of violence on this demographic of young people in comparison to other groups of marginalised groups of non-young people living in the borough of Haringey.
Empowerment and Economic Independence: Economic empowerment through business enterprise skills and upcycling could provide young people with a pathway to economic independence, reducing the potential link between poverty and engagement in violence.
Skill Development and Employability: Equipping young people with practical skills and enhancing their employability could open doors to various career opportunities, breaking the link between poverty and violence and fostering a sense of purpose.
