FISHING FOR HERITAGE
Laurie Taylor talks to , Associate Professor of Anthropology, Trinity College, Connecticut, about her twenty-five year study of the fisherfolk of Scotland’s north-east coastline.Ìý From Buckie via Pittenweim and Anstruther, she’s been recording their histories and hearing about the emergence of a tough but unique way of life and how it is now being transformed into just another heritage commodity.
YOUTH CRIME
Some recent studies suggest that crime perpetrated by children on children has been rising in this country and around the world.Ìý One explanation for the rising figures may be that juvenile crime has become more visible, for instance, the theft of a mobile phone or a pair of designer shades is more likely to get reported to the police than the theft of a packed lunch. However there are grounds for believing that the increase is actual as well as apparent.
Dr Marian Fitzgerald Visiting Research Fellow at the Mannheim Centre for the Study of Criminology and Criminal Justice and one of the authors of a report Young People’s Involvement in Street Crime which looks at the causal factors of street crime in London and John Pitts, Vauxhall Professor of Socio-legal studies at the University of Luton, who has studied the relationship between transient neighbourhoods and youth crime, join Laurie Taylor to compare notes.
