FREDERICTON – The New Brunswick government has launched a crime prevention and reduction strategy.

The strategy will focus on youth at risk, chronic repeat offenders and domestic violence.
Alward says if police and other groups can intervene sooner with actions such as education programs then maybe crimes can be prevented.
Acting Fredericton Police Chief Leanne Fitch says there are many opportunities to intervene with young people.
Fitch says she believes the approach will lead to a more coordinated approach across the province that can reduce crime.
