Over £300,000 has been spent by the police on tackling youth crime in a year.
That's according to Justice Minister Jane Poole-Wilson, who faced questions from Arbory, Castletown and Malew MHK Jason Moorhouse in the House of Keys this week.
She said the money was spent on school liaison officers and the police's early action team.
Mrs Poole-Wilson talked more about who has responsibility for the problem:
