When young people are suspended from school, after 1 year, there is a 50% chance they resort to anti-social behaviour.  OR 70%,  to engage in violent behaviour. The Y NSW is changing it in an Australian first pilot program.

12-15 year olds learn about cooling down, reflecting and committing to good actions.
