Both in cooperation with the neighborhood social worker (if there was one) could have prevented many crimes” says Mrs. Olga Verikaki, social worker and vice-president of the Hellenic Association of Social Workers, who is a guest on the show.

However, the figures are disappointing as there is only 1 social worker for every 40,000 citizens.
