Gang Crimes - UK


Focuses on a woman's life who used to be in a gang and exploring how mental health is affected:

- Can't go past certain areas without triggering bad memories.
- Experienced a lot of deaths in her time.
- Came to a point where she felt so worried for her safety, she has to take medication.
- When interviewing two boys, they had to keep their identity hidden as it is extremely dangerous to talk about the gang culture and exploit information about a specific gang.
- It's easy to fall into a bad state of mind from being exposed to things seen in gang culture (e.g: witnessing murders and not seeing anyone showing emotion).
- Even being exposed to illegal low-quality drugs can affect mental health.
