'I came away from this book enraged, enlightened and with a sense
of urgency to do something' Annie Mac 'Lays down a transformative
path to peace' David Lammy MP 'Compelling' The Sunday Times;
'Assured' Observer; 'Brilliantly written' Nikesh Shukla
_________________________ Demetri wants to study criminology at
university to understand why people around him carry knives. Jhemar
is determined to advocate for his community following the murder of
a loved one. Carl's exclusion leaves him vulnerable to the sinister
school-to-prison pipeline, but he is resolute to defy expectations.
Tony, the tireless manager of a community centre, is fighting not
only for the lives of local young people, but to keep the centre's
doors open. Drawing on the latest research and interviews with
experts, this refreshingly nuanced and beautifully written book
interweaves the stories of a cast of characters at the sharp end of
the UK's serious youth violence epidemic, with chapters on subjects
such as social media, gentrification and criminal justice. Showing
how we are all connected to this tragedy, Cut Short is a gripping,
urgent, sympathetic and often painful portrait of a society
fracturing along lines of race, class and postcode. It is a
blueprint for positive change, and a book we desperately need.
_________________________ 'A devastating and beautifully-drawn
tribute to the young boys that the media turns into statistics of
knife crime' Candice Carty-Williams 'Makes you stop and think' Nick
Robinson, BBC R4's Today programme 'This book strongly gives a
voice to the voiceless . . . essential reading' Kenny Allstar
'Angry, impassioned, informed, accurate - the story behind the
cutting short of public health and young lives' Danny Dorling
'Ciaran's work is informed by lived experience at the frontline of
social change. It takes a sensitive and respectful look at the
truths less often told' George the Poet
