Tough love v soft love
What's the best way of keeping kids on the straight and narrow? Tomorrow our programme comes from in Newham in London. It's run by Ray Lewis, a former prison governor, who thinks zero tolerance is the best answer.
Boys are referred to the academy by local schools, or sometimes the police. The criteria's straightforward: they must be black, and severely disruptive or in trouble with the law. Eastside operates after school, at weekends or in holidays. Boys who attend are aged between 8 and 18.
Throughout the programme we'll hear fom some of the boys; their parents and mentors. And we'll also hear from organisations who believe a softer policy of patience and understanding produces better results. tell us what you think works best.
