Volunteers help Cardiff students get home in freshers' week
This article from BBC News is about preventing teenagers from being a part of crime, while being under the influence of alcohol and possibly other drugs too. This is due to a number of sex attacks that happened last September "which prompted police and students'leaders to take action." They've managed to create a "Safe Taxi Scheme" and "the Student Safety Bus" to help create a safer environment for students from Cardiff University. They are supposed to help students who are "vulnerable after drinking too much".
The taxi service seems like a good idea as it lets students get home even if they don't have the money at the time, as they can pay at the student union later. This ensures that teens stay out of trouble and get straight home safely. This article also highlights the dangers of alcohol and what can happen if it's used irresponsibly, which unfortunately seems to happen a lot within this generation.

I find it really refreshing to see news like this and I think schemes like this should be much more common in all universities as it would make everyone feel safer, especially young females who might be vulnerable after a night out.
