  • Video games and hip hop music often take the rap for inciting violence in the young, but urban youth specialist and lecturer Craig Pinkney knows that is far from the whole story. Craig shares his experience in engaging disaffected and violent youth, going beyond systems to find the root causes. He also calls for this to move from ‘not my problem’, to an issue with much greater community support.
    Craig Pinkney is a Criminologist, Urban Youth Specialist, Lecturer and Director of Real Action UK - a charitable outreach organisation based in Birmingham who specialise in working with disaffected youth. Notable projects include: ‘Don’t Get Gassed’ a national anti-knife crime campaign which has over 50,000 views on RUclips. Craig is well-known for working with some of the cities most challenging young people, potentially high-risk offenders, victims of gang violence and youth who are deemed as hard to reach. Through mentoring, discussion, advocacy, sport, media, film and faith-based interventions, he believes giving a platform to young people will raise attainment and promote positive social change. Craig also lectures full time at University College Birmingham, specialising in youth violence, urban street gangs, extremism, trauma and black men’s desistance, and is part of the EU Gangs Project.

    He's right.
    Look at the vast majority of school shootings and suicides in the youth. The root cause is bullying and feeling excluded. Then when one snaps, people are so clueless about how it happened.

    Why does nobody talk about how similar it is to chimp behavior? The social dynamic, the power displays, the territoriality, the patrolling, the unpredictability, the raw violence, the irrationality, the group size and composition… I know it sounds inflammatory, comparing these youths to chimps… but the parallel is undeniable

    Needed this- tired of crying and more tired of feeling helpless. I can't make sense of this and I can't ignore this.
    Someone just got stabbed here. He was young, a footballer-, was playing football in the UK- his whole life ahead of him- GONE. A week before Christmas.
    A month or so earlier- two young men got shot and killed. One was 27, the other was celebrating his 22nd Birthday.
    I feel for the victims family and also the people that are killers and their family.
    This is a generation that is getting killed or incarcerated. It is soul destroying to witness.
    Thank you for this.

    I'm 63 now - Even back when I was in my early teens, school buses have always been a hotbed of problems where punks were in close proximity to "good" kids. There may be many reasons with kids acting as they do, having to do with a bad home life or external factors. In some cases, they just take pleasure in violence for the "rush" provided to their brain. It's a sad situation, and in many cases, they may only come to the realization after they reach adulthood. And no, I was not one of those that gave any trouble on school buses or anywhere else.

    When I was a young child in third grade, I looked at my class, and I was disgusted because everybody talked negatively about and wanted nothing to do with one of the students because she watched Dora the Explorer. I made friends with her, and everybody looked down on me and talked negatively about me because I was friends with that person nobody wanted to be friends with. I was also teased by my dad because he thought that I had a crush on this girl. I didn't, and I just wanted to do what was right. This girl also thought that I had a crush on her, and she had a crush on me so I was glad when my stepsister came to live with us because then she could be friends with her, and I didn't have to deal with her making love notes for me anymore. It was sweet of her to do that, but it kind of sketched me out. I have made other friends like this, and I still have some of those friendships today. When I first heard about racism, I was disgusted for the same reason that I was disgusted by my class wanted nothing to do with this girl that I was friends with. I live in Canada, and racism against the indigenous people here is the biggest problem we have with racism, and I will dedicate my life to stop it because it's not right, and it very much disgusts me.

    How can the scales of human feeling not be disturbed after the mind receives everything that suffers under the indirect metaphysical images?
    When a healthy person turns, for example,
    In a familiar way, it does not occur to caution the mind arises with the intent of warning of the existence of a sudden thing because it does not exist.
    The sudden alert sense of the mind can be changed through the events of bending the road itself and decorated with roses it and with flowers، so that the mind goes in the direction of positive, but the road leads in the end to a lonely, distant and cut place
    This is the game of events that appear in the world of social media and everything that comes to the screens of mobile and smart technology fixed
    It is necessary to monitor children with the intention of blinding the bloody scenes, even if they are not human, because seeing the scenes of human and animal violence is able to change the course of minds in the long run.

    The maturation of the cultural word requires a hardship similar to the weight of mountains.
    How many educational holes are left without blockages
    By intellectuals and writers on the pretext of their preoccupation with the battlefield of the job and the search for a source of livelihood.
    The dilemmas of education are increasing because the subject of poetry has been abolished, and you know that building, drawing, writing, and every fine craft needs a philosophical vision that comes from poetry first, second and third.
    The construction of fortresses for the new generation must pass through several factors, the most important of which is the establishment of the concepts of respect for parents, teachers, society, the law and the homeland, the bestowal of in-kind and material prizes, and the intensification of security efforts in order to encircle the child’s mind with all available means of protection.
    How can we sail in a clumsy boat?!
    We must return to literary libraries, to targeted cinema, to honest work, to solidarity, cooperation, and brotherhood away from fanaticism, disagreements and differences of all kinds.

    How could other person kill someone? How could a human being kill another human being?
    They're those who say: what we see on television, what we see on our computer can have a tremendous impact on our behavior and in many cases bring out the much worse possible scenario. Violence in the media poses a threat to public health, as it leads to increased violence and aggression in the real world. The relationship between media violence and aggression in the real world is moderated by the nature of the media content, the characteristics and social impact on the person exposed to that content. We have to knows that media construct our reality and how we think and behave. The truth is that when we watch movies with violence act, we don't actually Think that it's affecting to our mind. Subconsciously, we just imagine «what if I was like that». Honestly, how often after watching movies with spies, you also imagine that you were a spy?

People are not honest to the youth anymore, they are babying them and down playing what they do. For example: Someone can murder someone and people will make the youth murderer the victim instead of the suspect that on purposely killed someone. I do not get it.
