Hooks 4 Change
Hooks for change is a criminological concept arguing that people stay away from crime when they are exposed to 'turning points' in life. As we all know, Young people from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic communities suffer the most from educational inequality and lack of social mobility, ever-widening the gap of achievement and representation across institutions and powerful positions.
It is important to address this injustice because it has the potential to not only show institutions the importance of elevating these young people, but also offers them a chance to grow, move away from potentially dangerous situations, and help them explore opportunities available for them.
