Jessica Shepherd suggests an interesting list of things we can do to try to address violence between young people.
“Almost 1,300 teenagers were injured in shootings, muggings, stabbings, knife-point robberies and gunpoint rapes in the capital between April and November, the [London Evening Standard] discovered under the Freedom of Information Act. More than 40 teenagers and children were murdered last year in the UK in fights with their peers.”
Schools are doing so much already to stop pupils resorting to guns and knives. What more can they do?

YOUNGSTERS were urged to settle rows with banter, not blades, in a fresh drive against Scotland’s youth gang culture launched today.

Britain’s schools and playgrounds are rife with criminality, a survey suggests.
Research from the Howard League for Penal Reform (HLPR) published today finds that 95 per cent of children have been the victims of crime at least once.
It notes that most of these instances are “low-level” crimes but says that children take them seriously and feel victimised.

An article by Simon Fanshawe in The Guardian (18/07/07) has come to our attention. It highlights the work of Leap’s Quarrel Shop and Professor John Pitts. The latter is based at the Vauxhall Centre for the Study of Crime at the University of Bedfordshire. His new report, Reluctant gangsters: Youth Gangs in Waltham Forest, is available from Waltham Forest borough council here.
I’ve been talking to young people, and it scared me. They were lovely. Four lads from east London. They are 14 and have the innocent posturing of the almost-young man - plus, of course, the bumfluff and creaky voice. And they fight after school. Not each other, but big set-piece rucks involving 50 or so boys. Read the rest of this entry »

A recent article in the Observer has made us consider how Wikipedia could be used as a tool for conflict resolution. As Tim Adams points out, Wikipedia is by far the biggest encyclopaedia ever written, covering almost 7.5m pages in more than 250 languages. However, it is uniquely constructed by its users. A Wiki is a collaborative technology that allows visitors to a website add, remove, and edit content. Read the rest of this entry »

Peace One Day is launching a new on-pack promotion with Ecover, the UK’s leading brand of ecological cleaning products, to hit stores in September 2007.
The promotion encourages Ecover consumers to learn more about Peace One Day, the international film project, which began as the vision of British filmmaker, Jeremy Gilley. As a result of Jeremy’s efforts, in September 2001 the member states of the United Nations unanimously adopted UN GA Resolution 55/282, establishing the first ever day of global ceasefire and non-violence annually, 21 September annually - Peace Day.
