Work with young people in schools and communities is helping reduce antisocial behaviour across Dunfermline, according to a report presented to the City of Dunfermline Area Committee.

The Police Scotland report highlights a range of initiatives aimed at preventing antisocial behaviour and supporting young people to make positive choices.

During the reporting period, antisocial behaviour calls in Dunfermline fell from 3,233 to 2,799.

Community officers continue to work closely with schools, delivering sessions on topics including antisocial behaviour, online safety, hate crime awareness, substance misuse and conflict resolution.

The report also highlights the impact of the Mentors in Violence Prevention programme. Young people lead discussions with their peers on issues such as bullying, violence, misogyny and respectful relationships.

Police have also worked with partners to provide diversionary activities, including the Rivals United project, which uses football and workshops to promote teamwork, respect and positive behaviour.

Councillor James Calder, Convener of the City of Dunfermline Area Committee, said: "It's encouraging to see the positive impact of partnership working with young people across Dunfermline.

"The report highlights how education, early intervention and positive opportunities can help tackle antisocial behaviour while supporting young people to develop confidence, skills and strong relationships."

The report also recognises the contribution of Dunfermline's Police Scotland Youth Volunteers, who support community events, safety campaigns and local projects across the area.

Community Sergeant Fraser Simpson said: "Working with young people remains a key priority. By engaging with schools, families and community partners we can help address issues early and support young people to make positive choices that benefit both them and their communities."
