1. This interview-based
documentary includes statics
from real police officers that
have worked closely with
youths that have been
convicted of drug crime as
well as those in
rehabilitation. We get to
understand the progress
these youths have been
making since turning away
from their life of drug crimes
through their youth workers
and teachers. For anyone
that can relate to these sorts
of crimes, or knows anyone
going through it, or for purely
wanting to learn more, this
documentary is a great
resource, exploring a new
perspective from the youths
themselves.
Catch it on BBC Three,
Thursday, 9pm.
The final installment of
BBC Three’s young crime
and punishment season is
concluding this Thursday
night at 9pm with ‘Young
Addiction’. The
documentary explores the
lives of Daryl and Megan,
two teens as old as 17 that
have struggled as a result of
a poor, dysfunctional family
in the London borough of
Brent, and peer pressure
from friends. BBC Three
explores their point of view
to emphasise how young
people can be easily
influenced by this adult
world and what others are
doing to help them recover
and get them on the right
track.
