Do you feel unsafe or threatened?

Have you seen the poster below hanging at one of the bus stops in Zoetermeer? With this campaign, the municipality wants to make young people aware of the choices they make when they feel unsafe or threatened. A weapon is not the solution. They may receive a restraining order, a fine or other punishment. This will affect their future. Research shows that young people with guns in their pockets actually feel more unsafe. They are also more likely to be victims of violence.

Are you concerned about someone who may be carrying a weapon? Talk about it. You can contact a youth worker from gro-up community work at www.gro-up.nl/wapens.
