Young people who do good deeds could be quids in as the police in Devon are offering shopping vouchers or other rewards like free film tickets. If do things like pick up litter or help pensioners across the street or return lost property they could get an "on the spot" prize.
The initative, called motiv8, is a twist on the fixed-penalty notices dished out for ASBO's. It is the brainchild of 16-year-old student Kirsty Ogborne (pictured) who submitted her idea at a police stand at the Devon and County Show.
Hopefully we'll start hearing more positive stories about teenagers as a result.
