Young people encouraged to break the stigma of 'snitching'

Crimestoppers IOM promotes its 'Fearless' service allowing children to report crime anoynmously

Breaking the stigma of 'snitching' is key to encouraging young people to report crime, according to Crimestoppers Isle of Man.

Ahead of Safeguarding Week next week, it's promoting its 'Fearless' service - a website where young people can make a report completely anonymously.

The charity, which is completely separate from the police and government, will then pass on the information to the authorities.

Karen Ramsay is the chair and says it can be difficult to get the message across:

If you want to report a crime anonymously, you can also visit the Crimestoppers website here or call 0800 555 111.
