Abstract

Voices from gang-affected communities, Paul Andell observes that although, as the Children’s Society Look Closer campaign, (2021) notes, everyone has a role to play in protecting children and vulnerable young people from abuse and exploitation, statutory partnerships like Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hubs and Crime and Disorder Partnerships have been slow to implement relevant interventions. Sometimes, he writes, their efforts are not helped by the growing numbers of ‘gang experts ’who frame interventions on the basis of dated understandings of the additional risks faced by socially vulnerable young people in the second decade of the twenty-first century. The chapter presents several case studies to illustrate the realities faced by young people who become associated with drug-dealing gangs.
