Experiences of Violent Victimisation and Attitudes to Knife Crime

Focusing on the experiences of young black urban males, this book explores their often-overlooked status as victims of violent crime rather than perpetrators. Through qualitative interviews, it reveals the profound impact of victimization on their lives, communities, and mental health. The study also examines the issue of knife crime, contrasting the perspectives of urban black males with those from rural white communities. By amplifying their voices, the book emphasizes the need for societal awareness and understanding of this vulnerable group's experiences and challenges.
