Summer Research: MEST 4 Xmas Task #6, INTRODUCTION & FIRST PARAGRAPH

Critical Investigation Tittle - An Investigation into how Black British teens that become involved in street crime are represented in print media.

Introduction..

This essay will argue how black British teens that become involved in street crime are represented in print media. This essay will also dispute why these young black adolescents are involved in street crime in the first place. We can agree that street crime has become an increasing talking point over the past year or so having seen a dramatic increase of both gun and knife. A number of sources believe is the young black British teens who are in the driving seat and are the main ones to blame, and therefore I will be finding out how much of that statement is actually true. At the same time, I believe that street crime would not have increased if there were more and more police on road to make the public feel safer and not to worry about any young teens.

Young black British teens are becoming more involved in street crime for many reasons. One is that there aren’t any black role models that they could aspire to. Only recently have we witnessed the first black president of the United States of America but some experts are suggesting that, that isn’t enough. British based movies such as kidult hood and adulthood are not having positive impacts on them because of the nature of the texts it persists of. The major reason behind any gang related teenager that has been involved in street crime as the ambition of having lots of money, having a great deal of power to a certain extent etc.
