Gangs and Youth Violence: What Can Be Done?
Gangs are very seriously intertwined with youth violence and criminality, and, with gang violence in the UK on the rise, it is essential we recognise the extent of the problem and understand how to safeguard our at-risk youth.
This course overs a comprehensive overview to the subject of gangs and youth violence, helping the learner to understand what gangs are and what they do, the part women and girls play in gangs, and what can be done to prevent gang recruitment.
The course contains three modules which give you a very comprehensive picture of the state of the UK today. It uses interactive screens, real-life cases, quotes, and scenarios, as well as thought-provoking questions designed to keep the learner engaged all the way through the course.
In this course you will learn:

Territorial conflicts
The risk factors for gang membership, and the warning signs that a young person is in a gang
The roles women and girls play in gangs and why they join
How they’re sexually exploited by gangs and the signs
