The Fear Factory
CCJF has joined the coalition which has formed around a new documentary film looking at youth justice. The media’s negative focus on young people leads government into ‘knee-jerk’ reactions – creating a ‘fear factory’. The aim of the coalition is to challenge these stereotypes of young offenders and educate policy makers into more realistic and proportional responses to genuinely offending behaviour. The actual film The Fear Factory runs about 55 minutes and is now available on DVD and be bought direct from the makers, Spirit Level Films.
