These Youth-Led Crime Prevention and Reporting structures utilizes Early Warning Systems in Liberia by empowering students with skills to enhance their participation in combating school/community crimes and violence related cases through anonymous reporting of occurring crimes using SMS text messaging, Ushahidi Instant technology etc.
