This episode we speak with Lyndsay McDade, Fearless Scotland Manager at Crimestoppers, the charity offering support to 11-18 year olds to raise awareness of issues relating to crime as well as providing anonymous ways to report it. A partnership with Police Scotland and the Scottish Government led to a campaign to tackle the rise in sextortion tacking children and young people, a large proportion of which are male.
