Lyndsay McDade, national youth projects co-ordinator at Crimestoppers, told Lanarkshire Live: "With the dark nights drawing in, it’s particularly important that everyone feels safe in their communities. "The vast majority of young people are absolute assets to their communities and for those that sometimes make negative choices, it’s important that we’re clear about ways that they can turn that around to make more positive ones.
