The Hack_Right program, which aims to help young hackers avoid cybercrime and use their skills for good, is now supported by 20 companies.
The program is aimed at young people who were first convicted of some cybercrime. This is an alternative to traditional imprisonment.
The experiment started with 2018 and its initiative police of the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. It focuses on people aged 12 to 23 and is structured in four modules (recovery, training, guidance, alternative) tailored to each individual to help them stay on the good side of the law.

In the Netherlands, the Hack_Right pilot program runs with the support of the Dutch police, the Probation Service, the council protectionof children and the public prosecutor's office.
According data of the public prosecutor's office, approximately 70 people between the ages of 12 and 23 are arrested each year for cybercrimes. However, this number is probably higher as not all new cyber criminals have been caught.
Currently, the program has about 20 participants, who average about 10 per year, according to Floor Jansen of the Dutch National Police's High Tech Crime team.
About ten a year, but there is room in Hack_Right for more young people who have for the first time committed some cybercrime and want to learn from their mistakes.
