Gun Crime

Once again the papers are full of comment on the wave of violent crime that has left three London teenagers dead. I thought DJ Dodge, the music producer and DJ interviewed on last night's Ten O'Clock News said it all: "I doubt very much there's ever been the case of a youth who's had a great family background and a great education who's gone out to become a street robber, a drug dealer, or a gunman ... The answer's right there: Education, from the beginning, and family values - mother and father, grandparents, community. That's the solution to the problem, right there."
