The @UofGSPS #RecoveringCommunity podcast was made by the talented @freyahel. She did an amazing job of editing our conversation into a coherent narrative, that really did justice to the wonderful work of @JimThom61540525 @SimonCommScot and the @rvv_study. Thank you @freyahel!

Working w yp who have been involved in violence, they are not doing it for likes, they are not doing it bcos song lyrics, they are not doing it because they do not fear the consequences. Their lives are full of fear. Immediate fear, fear for their future, fear deep inside them.

If we want to stop young people becoming victims of violence we need to look at the causes of that violence.

It is easier to punish than look at the complex and multifaceted issues that are contributing to these behaviours. Addressing needs is not in lieu of taking responsibility or making amends but we need to acknowledge that often the causes lie outwith young peoples control

🧵 it is unbelievably upsetting to see yp be victims of such violence, and similarly to think about the suffering yp must be experiencing to be involved in such violence. That is telling us ALL they are in need- of connection, support, that something is going wrong…

For those of you who missed it, here's the link to today's discussion of the @rvv_study at FMQs.
Repeat violent victimisation tends to occur in deprived areas, I asked the First Minister what can be done to support the grass roots organisations which exist to tackle this issue.

Thanks to @pauline4glasgow for asking a question based on the @rvv_study at today's FMQs, highlighting the link between repeat violence and poverty - as well as the crucial support provided by community-based organisations led by people with lived experience.
