"This study was designed to develop understanding of the targeting of area-based initiatives (ABIs) and particularly those with potential for diverting young people from involvement in crime and/or anti-social behaviour. It was intended to support work being undertaken in connection with the ‘On Track’ programme, which provides multiple interventions to young people aged 4-12 considered to be at risk of involvement in criminal and/or anti-social behaviour later in their lives. The On Track programme is made up of 24 local demonstration projects located in relatively high crime, high deprivation neighbourhoods in England and Wales. "
