Description

Course Overview

This course covers a comprehensive overview of the subject of gangs and youth violence, so you will understand what gangs are and what they do, the part women and girls play in gangs, and what can be done to prevent youth violence and gang recruitment.

This course contains three modules which give you a very clear picture of the state of the UK today.

The course aims to help anyone who works with adults or children to recognise the signs that someone is in a gang or may be involved in youth violence.
