According to Saferspaces, their desks encourage and enable young people to participate actively in identifying the causes of youth violence and crime and to collaborate in creating social crime prevention strategies for their communities.
The organisation also recognises that young people in South Africa are key target group as both victims and perpetrators of crime thus the prevention interventions. Street netball and street soccer were some of the activities during a sports against crime initiative organised by Vosman SAPS.
