AKALA: COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AS A SOLUTION TO UK CRIME
2 months ago
11
The UK’s default response to violent crime, especially among Black Brits, is expulsion and incarceration. Rapper and activist Akala here argues that these punishments don’t address the root cause - namely, socio-economic factors.
In the past, the UK has successfully tackled violent crime through community engagement - in White-dominated districts of Manchester and (more recently) Glasgow. So why isn’t this being tried more in places like London?
It’s even led to concerns the UK is now drifting towards the kind of prison-industrial complex found in the US - one, moreover, disproportionately targeting minorities.
What do you think?
