To adapt to the evolution of delinquency in the department, the Rhône prefecture and the public prosecutors of Lyon and Villefranche-sur-Saône adopted this Wednesday January 5 a new prevention plan for “fight sustainably “ against delinquency, trafficking and violence.
Faced with a change in the forms of delinquency, the prefect of the Rhône and the prosecutors of Lyon and Villeffrance-sur-Saône have decided to take matters into their own hands by adapting their response. Gathered in the premises of the Rhône prefecture, Pascal Mailhos, the prefect, Nicolas Jacquet the public prosecutor of Lyon and Laëtitia Francart, the public prosecutor of Villefranche-sur-Saône, signed, this Wednesday, January 5, a departmental plan to prevent delinquency from an early age.
Established in partnership with a certain number of local actors such as social funders, Sytral (in charge of public transport in the department), SDMIS (the firefighters of the Métropole de Lyon) without forgetting the local authorities, this plan must allow “fight sustainably against delinquency, trafficking and violence“, explains the prefecture in a press release, by creating new actions for young people and the most vulnerable.
A plan based on 4 axes
For this, four priority axes have been defined until 2024 by the representative of the State at the local level and of justice. The latter thus want:
- Act earlier and more thoroughly with young people. This must include prevention against harassment on social networks and dropping out of school or work on professional integration.
- Go to vulnerable people for better protection, in particular by training professionals who will be responsible for prevention. It will also involve providing accommodation for victims of domestic violence.
- Integrate the population as a real actor in the prevention of delinquency. To do this, they intend to rely, among other things, on systems such as civic service.
- Finally, for the last axis, this plan being established at the national level before being rolled out at the local level, it will be a question of strengthening the governance around the prefect, so that he is the privileged interlocutor of the various actors (police, donors, etc.) with the mayors of the municipalities, through whom the prevention plan must pass. The idea being that regular points are organized, by 2024, between the different actors of the territory.
