Journalist Gavin Knight, author of newly published Hood Rat, spent the last year embedded on the front line of hidden, inner-city gang wars around the UK, including right here in Hackney. He joins former drug dealer, convict and author Shaun Attwood, who wrote a searing account of his time in America’s toughest prison, to discuss the issues, the facts and what needs to be done.
