# Teen Crime Correction Campaigns Beyond Social Services Helps by Rearranging Lifestyle Choices By Gil Cohen | Published 2013-06-18 | Social Good Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beyond-social-services References: [ibelieveinadv](http://www.ibelieveinadv.com/2013/06/beyond-social-services-lives-can-be-rearranged-when-we-care/) & [beyond.org.sg](http://beyond.org.sg/) The new campaign for Beyond Social Services sends the message that no matter how convoluted and complicated life can be for teenagers who find themselves entertaining criminal pursuits, there is a way to untangle that madness and make life make sense again. By literally rearranging the letters of words such as "college dropout" and "teen gangster," the posters show that these labels can be easily switched to "Doctor Lou Lee (GP)" and "Seargeant Teng" respectively. Created by Singapore advertising agency Publicis, the campaign targets the stigma that surrounds teenage delinquents in Singapore who are seen as having no hope for the future. Through this advertising campaign, Beyond Social Services strives to rearrange the way the public sees juvenile delinquents, demonstrating that better lifestyles are possible. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 19% | Activity: 39% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Good](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialgood) > [Activism](https://www.trendhunter.com/activism) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Teen Crime Correction:** Advertisements promoting new avenues for rehabilitating teenagers involved in crimes. - **Positive Perception of Juvenile Delinquency:** Changing society's outlook on juvenile delinquency through creative messaging. - **Wordplay in Advertising:** Rethinking traditional advertising by using clever wordplay and juxtaposition to send a compelling message. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Youth Services:** Organizations offering services and products aimed at rehabilitating at-risk youth. - **Criminal Justice:** Agencies and institutions focused on the prevention and rehabilitation of criminal behaviors in juveniles. - **Advertising:** Innovative and forward-thinking advertising agencies that are willing to take risks and promote unconventional messaging strategies. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ball Game-Promoting Urban Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/more-ball-games.md) - [National Trafficking Awareness Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/see-the-trafficking-signs.md) - [High-Concept Brand Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/legitimate-you.md) - [Vibrant Retro Transport Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/public-transport-safety.md) - [Children-Supporting Trust Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/children-who-trust-again.md) - [Perpetrator-Targeted Domestic Abuse Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/domestic-abuse-prevention-ad.md) - [Vibrant Mental Health Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/free-mind-campaign.md) - [Mental Health-Supporting Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-last-photo.md) - [Peer-to-Peer Conversation Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/real-tea-real-talk.md)
