Hear "Youth Menace" on the Youth Criminal Defence Office website. It is a 10 minute audio clip from "Youth Menace," a radio show that interviews young offenders in crack houses, detention centres, and the back seats of cars etc. It is not censored or screened through "rose coloured glasses." It's interesting to listen to while browsing the site.Recent Articles
