Project Name

UNESCO Youth as Researchers (YAR) Initiative in Jamaica: ZoSo in Denham Town

Project Overview

The focus of the research is to explore the extent to which ZOSO implemented in the Denham Town community has been effective in addressing crime and violence in the said community from a social interventionist standpoint. The researchers were minded to study this area as not much has been documented thus far about the impact that ZOSO has had in the spaces they have been implemented and therefore, it is the expectation that this research will provide findings that can inform policy decisions and future actions by the government.
