Download or read book Labelled a Black Villain written by Trevor Hercules and published by Waterside Press. This book was released on 2020-01-29 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heavily featured in the media when it first appeared, Trevor Hercules has now updated and added to a work that led to his involvement challenging Government ministers and MPs on youth and black crime. Part biography, part critique of the system, part innovative proposals, this book is essential reading at a time of gun, knife and gang crime. Heavily influenced by the author’s thoughts on how a mindset is created in all deprived communities in which ambition, employment, opportunity and advancement are thought impossible — something bound up with the advantages of the few (and where black people are concerned the shadow of the UK’s colonial past) — he guides readers along the pathways he discovered ‘the hard way’ as a dangerous young offender. With a new Introduction, Foreword by Duncan Campbell, extended chapters and a whole new part on the Hercules Programme the book challenges entrenched ways of thinking and examines the Social Deprivation Mindset (SDM) that unless something is done to change it holds back countless young people to the detriment of society as a whole. An extended edition of a classic work. By an adviser to Government on youth crime. Explains the ground-breaking SDM approach. Essential reading at a time of gun and knife crime. Now fully indexed. Reviews ‘Magnificent ... a must read’— The Voice ‘Hercules is on a mission to help young black men avoid prison … to divert them from crime by challenging the way they see the world’— Duncan Campbell. ‘Thank you for the Social Deprivation Mind-set Mr Hercules’— Black Youth of Communities ‘Trevor knows the streets and Labelled a Black Villain — the first British prison memoir by a Black man — is to be commended to anyone interested in confronting the current challenges of gang crime, knife crime and disaffected youth — black or white’— Mike Nellis, Emeritus Professor of Criminal and Community Justice, Centre for Law, Crime and Justice, University of Strathclyde.

Download or read book Connecting with Young People in Trouble written by Andi Brierley and published by Waterside Press. This book was released on 2021-03-16 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This powerful critique of youth justice based on lived experience, theory and practice looks at the topic through a refreshing new lens, suggesting that some existing ways of dealing with children and young people may do more harm than good. After making readers aware of Risk Relation Paradox, the author shows that positive outcomes cannot be imposed or directed but that they can stem from ‘presence, attunement, connection and trust’ (PACT). Then priority should be given to buffering the impact of familiar but questionable relationships in a youngster’s own ‘village’ that may have led to toxic stress, complex trauma, criminal or anti-authority attitudes and other adverse childhood experiences. In arguing for change, Andi Brierley brings his extensive experience on both sides of the justice fence as prisoner and professional to bear — and whilst he champions the engagement skills of others who have travelled a similar journey, he also explains how the approach can be used by anyone. Reviews ‘This important and engaging text will be of great value to those working within the youth justice sector and educators alike… Andi Brierley crafts a new framework that facilitates pathways to positive outcomes. And offers a rich and insightful account of the key components of effective relationship-based practice.’-- Dr Sean Creaney, Edge Hill University, UK. ‘This book sits at the intersection between personal lived experience and professional practice and … makes it a hugely valuable contribution to the discourse … Brierley not only contextually articulates his experiences but seeks to provide a new framework through which youth justice can effect change.’-- Lisa Cherry (From the Foreword). Author Andrew Brierley is a Youth Justice Specialist with 15 years of experience working with the most prolific, serious, vulnerable and complex youngsters involved in offending behaviour. He is the author of Your Honour Can I Tell You My Story? (Waterside Press, 2019) which made a difference for other incarcerated young people and professionals working with young people in trouble concerning the relational issues many such children experience — and how they bounce back.
