This book puts my youth into words that I've never been able to. Coming to terms with who you were/are/want to become is bloody hard. I'd highly recommend it. Michael Magee

Groomed. Coerced... Criminalised. Police Service NI there is legislation for this, why aren't we using it?
NRM reforms have had a direct negative impact upon the legal protection needed for our young people at Streets of Growth Exploitation doesn't stop just because a Reasonable Grounds Decision says it may have happened, and that's what these reforms expect.
Projects like My Endz from London's Violence Reduction Unit are changing how we tackle serious youth violence. I've seen the public health approach in action. It works. Just as one stabbing causes a ripple effect, one young person's change journey can do the same. theguardian.com/society/2024/f…
Great trip to Oberstown Children Detention Campus today. Thanks for having us.
Week began with vicious & barbaric human rights abuse in Bushmills, where a paramilitary crime gang nailed their victim to a fence. Week ends with this article outlining the impact of gangs across the region, 26 years into peace. We call for leadership. belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/northern-…
Not possible without Streets of Growth. Eternally grateful.
