Social Exclusion & Youth Justice (Kate's Story)

A short introduction video I made on behalf of Durham University (UK) when I was at the University of Victoria (Canada). It's an anonymous but true case study surrounding the reasons why a young girl found herself in custody. I think it beg's the question of whether our welfare system in the UK truly works for young people or children, or if it only marginalises them further and sometimes even "pushes" them into offending behaviour.
The song is "Who will sing me Lullaby's" by Kate Rusby. It's the live version.

If you or someone close to you has been a victim of or witness to a crime, you can call Victim Support on 0845 30 30 900 (UK number)
