Ross Kemp on gangs, giving us more insights about south London gangs, while Ross Kemp is trying to find out why there is so much violence in is home city London, and why teenagers are trying to kill other teenagers.

My linked production will be involved more on the illegal street fighting for money part, as these videos that I am showing involve all fighting, stabbing, shooting, robbing, threatening etc.

Street Life Uk – London

A very similar short documentary showing the kind of life young teenagers are living in London. This appeals to me because for my linked production, I will be producing a very similar type of documentary, about an opening on teenagers fighting for money, whilst interviewing the main characters invlovled with this type of behaviour.

A short documentary on street gangs in London, within areas such as Brixton and Peckham, south London where crime rate hits highest in the borough. This video gives us a short view on how male teenagers are currently behaving in the UK, and as to why they behave in this particular way. An individual from this video, who is a member of a gang stated, “Well the government does not have anything for us to do ... What is there to do, except go out in the streets and rob? What else is there to do?”

London Gangs U.K

There are always debates about whether the media are too harsh on teenagers, or whether they really deserve all the negative representations. Some argue that teenagers commit crime, first because they get influenced by violent music, and some argue that teenagers are trying to fight of the media and also the government by committing as much crime as possible. One other important question is whether violent music influences teenagers to kill and rob, or whether killing and robbing is what influence violent music. Within this video, you will see a short documentary on street gangs in London, within areas such as Brixton and Peckham, south London where crime rate hits highest in the borough. This video gives us a short view on how male teenagers are currently behaving in the UK, and as to why they behave in this particular way. An individual from this video, who is a member of a gang stated, “Well the government does not have anything for us to do ... What is there to do, except go out in the streets and rob? What else is there to do?”

The conventions within this short documentary include violence, colloquial language and discomfort of danger, as it is about the gangs in London, mainly within the areas of south London such as Peckham and Brixton, where we also get to learn a little about the police officers working there and the kind of operations they have to undertake. These kind of police procedures include stops and searching, arresting and sometimes even having to fight of teenage gangs. This video does not only appeal to teenagers themselves, but it is also highly considered for all ages especially the elderly as they may be undertaken as a victims in situation where teenagers are stopping random people in their area who they do not know and deliberately attacking them in order to get something valuable such as money, jewellery or a mobile phone.
