Community Wardens
There are now 550 wardens on the streets of hard-pressed
communities across Scotland. They are already having an
impact.
In Peterhead, community wardens helped to reduce reported incidents of vandalism and youth disorder by 50% over a 5-month period in 2004. And in Fraserburgh there was a reduction in reported incidents of 55% for youth disorder and 16% in vandalism over the same period.
