This workshop focuses on the correlation between the use of controlled substances, youth violence and gang activity, as well as the impact of the sales of narcotics in supporting criminal gang operations. During the week-long program, law enforcement officials, educators, treatment professionals, community leaders and journalists will study initiatives designed to reduce demand and keep youths from entering the criminal world. Participants will learn how gangs and cartels recruit and hold teenagers, as well as successful approaches in terms of education, community action and government support to keep adolescents from becoming lured into the world of organized crime.
