Poetic Justice Ep 1 BRIXTON

This ‘data verbalization’ story is an adaptation of Professor Shadd Maruna’s article ‘desistance as a social movement’ published in the Irish Probation Journal in Oct 2017.  This Jazz Hip-Hop fusion argues that ‘reformed offenders’ are well placed to lead on their own agenda in the form of a social -movement.  More importantly ‘Ode to Rosa’ is about bringing research ideas from ‘academia to the streets’.

Desistance

Unchained Campaign Against knife and gun crime,
 
It's not new it's just to common, it's sickening...

This poem was inspired by nearly witnessing an old lady getting stabbed, just for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. It was 2pm.We see it. We talk to each other. Then we close our doors and hope our kids are safe. We need to stop just hoping and take action, everyone just watched. Is this really the world we want to live in????
"Sometimes we follow the wrong direction, because we don't believe or sometimes even fear that we could be Leaders. But the day we realise we are truly Leaders, Unchained is born" -Lady Unchained.
