In this episode, Alma- Constance and Lucinda talk to Sarah Forshaw QC, an experienced specialist criminal barrister who is the co-head of chambers at 5 King's Bench Walk in London, about the law relating to children and gangs.
She explains:
- Why some children and young people want to join a street gang and what can happen if they get caught up in crime;
- What county lines means and why gangs are using this method of involving children;
- That a child or young person is entitled to legal advice if the police wants to question them; and
- What we can do if we think that a child or young person might be at risk of being exploited in a gang.
When Sarah was 10 years old, she says she was a bit of a bookworm and she wanted to be a vet and then an actress, but her father suggested she should be a barrister.
