Watch the next clip...

Louis Theroux in Philadelphia http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVvRNkGaSVM

Do you think violence is more glorified in;AmericaThis countryBothNone

What is the reason for your answer/

Would living in an environment like you saw in the film make you live in fear?

How do you think innocent people cope in that kind of situation?

Do the crime – Do the time.

1,362,064 offenders sentenced in 2008 in the UK (all offences) of which:

110,348 for theft and handling stolen goods offences

52,911 for drug offences

41,442 for violence against the person offences and

23,651 for burglary offences

Is violence exaggerated by the media or is it a real growing concern?

How do this have an impact on your lives? Gun violence is hopefully a lot less

common in your own lives than in the films, but there is another type of weapon that is worryingly much more available…

Final thought...

That violence is not glamorous.

The maturity to know right from wrong.
