Description
Hood Rat tells the human stories that the media often miss. In the summer of 2011, violence erupted in our inner cities, with many blaming gang culture. But is the truth so simple? Gavin Knight's book sheds light on the lives of young men who have fallen through the system and one young woman with a vision for change.
Through unflinching storytelling, Knight uncovers the complexities of this issue, revealing the environments that most of us only glimpse. This is a gripping novelistic immersion into the lives of young criminals, where the lines between right and wrong are often blurred.
