Opportunities and challenges for social intervention aimed at migrant minors A project aimed for the prevention of deviance and for the social reintegration of foreign minors subject to criminal proceedings

This research is part of the Colourful Horizons project, promoted in Rome by Save the Children Italy. The purpose of the project is to reduce the number of foreign minors who are exploited or involved in illegal activities in Rome and to promote their integration in society,with special reference to unaccompanied foreign children facing criminal proceedings. Within the context of the project, the research analysed the relationship between the migratory routes of Romanian migrant children living in Rome, their involvement in illegal activities and their experience of the social intervention initiatives concerning them, in order to identify methods of intervention that may be more effective than those adopted today.
