A project in Exeter is aiming to tackle the problem of crimes against teenagers going unreported.
Young people are often the victims of 'hate crime' - which they may perceive as bullying - or sexual assaults which they may never tell anyone about.
The organisation Young Devon wants to work with police to make it easier and less daunting for teenagers to come forward.
Any teenagers wanting to tell their stories in confidence should initially contact the Youth Enquiry Service on 01392 331 666.
