Empowering Young People to Make Positive Changes in Their Lives

Empowering young people between the ages of 12-18 to make positive changes and steer clear of criminal activities. The intervention targets individuals involved in Organized Crime Groups (OCGs) or at risk of such involvement. The Lyons crime clan and Scotland's underworld are mentioned as examples, emphasizing the need to divert youth from career criminality. The focus is on community intervention to prevent criminal behaviors and provide support.
