New Safe Futures Report published by the European Union Drugs Agency

How do we stop criminal networks from exploiting vulnerable young people? The answer goes beyond enforcement. It starts with prevention, support, opportunities and a sense of belonging. Our Safe Futures project is exploring how young people are recruited into criminal drug networks and what can be done to prevent it. At the recent EUCPN (European Crime Prevention Network)'s conference in Lisbon, the European Union Drugs Agency (EUDA) launched a new report from the REPPP Safe Futures Project which is highlighting research priorities for stronger prevention and intervention efforts.

The Report, by Dr Eoin O'Meara Daly and Helen Fitzgerald can be accessed here:
