About This Lesson
A youth worker form West London, warns about joining a gang. He says that people who get into gangs go to jail, or end up in a bookie’s, with mental health problems or dead. He admits that not all gangs are bad and that the
individual has to ask what the gang does and why it does it. He thinks that the answer lies with communities and families, not stricter laws, and says that what young people need is hope.

An interesting clip. This is relevant and useful, especially when using some of the ideas in the lesson plans. This could start some really interesting debtates as this person has a very different opinion to the current media perception of gangs.
