Jo Whiley Presents: Communities in the Crossfire

T0
Policing violent armed criminals can lead to violent and unlawful policing, with communities often caught in the crossfire. Communities around the world are facing daily armed violence at the hands of the military, police, security forces and armed criminal gangs. The unregulated supply of weapons fuels the problem. Tonight, we explore state and community responses to armed violence, focusing on Jamaica and the UK. How can we make our communities safer? Speakers include: Yvonne Sobers, Families Against State Terrorism (FAST), from Jamaica and Lucy Cope from Mothers Against Guns (a UK-based organisation).
