Abstract

Rotterdam South is a district where many of the approximately 200,000 residents suffer from a multitude of problems such as low incomes, inadequate professional skills, educational and language deficiencies, unmanageable debts, substance abuse and health/mental problems. Crime has the potential to undermine local society, by luring persons with a poor outlook into criminal careers. Many areas of the district are not considered a positive environment for children to grow up, which restricts youths to reach their full socioeconomic potential.
