Hi Karen,
Thanks for your post. You are quite right that young people often feel
victimized by the public and the police. As in everything in life - when there
is a small number of people who behave badly in any distinguishable group
everyone else becomes a scapegoat.
I have been getting a few credible comments about police harassment on the
street and that is not acceptable. However frustrated the police and the public
are about the noise and disruptive behaviour on our streets, bully boy tactics
from "the establishment" won't fix it. We need strong, clear, laws that
everyone understands and that the police can enforce fairly.
You offer to be part of a team to look into this issue. I am offering to set a
group up and invite you and anyone else in the forum who would like to take
part to contact me by email or on 021- 387 521 so we can make a time to meet.
Cheers Nicky
