Integrating Crime Prevention and Health Promotion Programs for School-Aged Children to Decrease Anti-Social Behaviours.

The interaction between crime prevention and health promotion programs and their impact on crime rates and antisocial behaviours in school-aged children is a complex and multifaceted subject. This literature review examines 10 research articles to discern recurring themes, challenges, and potential synergies in addressing these intricate dynamics. It emphasises the crucial role of socioeconomic factors, mental health, and community environments in shaping the effectiveness of interventions. The intersection of crime prevention and health promotion emerges as a promising avenue for comprehensive strategies. However, challenges such as attendance rates and demographic variations underline the need for tailored approaches. The implications for policy, as well as potential directions for future research, are thoroughly discussed.
