games and hip hop music often take the rap for inciting violence in the
young, but urban youth specialist and lecturer Craig Pinkney knows that
is far from the whole story. He shares his experience in engaging
disaffected and violent youth, going beyond systems to find the root
causes. He also calls for this to move from ‘not my problem’, to an
issue with much greater community support.
Pinkney is a
Criminologist, Urban Youth Specialist, Lecturer and Director of Real
Action UK - a charitable outreach organisation based in Birmingham who
specialise in working with disaffected youth. Notable projects include:
‘Don’t Get Gassed’ a national anti-knife crime campaign which has over
50,000 views on YouTube.
