Description
Beating County Lines (and Other Things to Do Before Lunch) by Phil M Priestley offers an unflinching look at the growing problem of child criminal exploitation and 'County Lines' drug dealing in the UK. Organised crime has increasingly targeted vulnerable children, exploiting their false expectations and early life trauma for profit. The book sheds light on the devastating impact of this epidemic, revealing a support system that has receded while the illegal market for drugs continues to thrive. It also explores the decline of public services, including Social Care and Neighbourhood Policing, which have been neglected in favour of infrastructure projects like HS2. This is an unflinching account of the real-life experiences of children who have suffered harm from their involvement with this world. Through its honest portrayal, the book aims to explain criminal radicalisation, self-harm, violence, and suicide, highlighting that this is not just a problem affecting one socio-economic group, but rather children from all backgrounds are being drawn into this tragic and violent world.
