Niko Tatulashvili, the Georgian Prime Minister's Adviser for Human Rights, on Thursday said it was “important” for the Government to work with young generations for crime prevention.
In the framework of the ongoing international conference in the capital Tbilisi, Tatulashvili emphasised it was “necessary to implement appropriate activities” for crime prevention in the country and provide non-formal education and healthcare services for youth.
"It is important to work with children, because if appropriate activities, programmes, cultural, sports, educational aspects are not carried out during this period, of course, then it may be too late”, he added.
The two-day conference sees professionals in the field share experience of their countries in crime prevention and discuss probation systems in European countries and their capacity development.
