Michael Enright of CBC talks to Karyn McCluskey
Karyn McCluskey brought in a program that reduced the murder rate in Glasgow from 71 in 2002 to 14 in 2015.
Her focus was on how to prevent crime by getting involved with families in crisis rather than wait until their youth fall into the habits of crime. The results have been astonishing and yet this has hardly been reported in mainstream media.
Why would that be? Who chooses media policy? Are publishers scared to publish stories about social issues that indicate we have policy options?
McCluskey and Enright focused on causes - the lack of male guidance in the lives of youth at risk, and grinding poverty.
