How do we keep young people off the streets at night?

BBC Radio Scotland - Morning Extra, How do we keep young people off the streets at night?

Your calls on nusiance youths and the government's rescue plan for the banks.

Graham Stewart takes your calls on nusiance youths and the government's rescue plan for the banks.

Are you happy to give the banking system £50bn pounds of your money?

Is the Chancellor doing the right thing by taxpayers and savers? Or are we pumping huge amounts into our banks without much influence over them in return? We go live to Downing Street to hear Gordon Brown and Alistair Darling's press conference.

Plus: Your ideas for keeping young people off the streets at night.

So-called "Neighbourhood Action Units" in Edinburgh have led to a 21 per cent drop in calls to the police about nuisance youths. Would this scheme work where you live?

And what if we opened the doors of our pubs to teenagers and welcomed them in with open arms? One of the UK's leading medical experts thinks that doing just that — lowering the legal drinking age in pubs to 16 — could solve a lot of our problems. Professor John Ashton, director of public health at Cumbria NHS Primary Care Trust, says that as well as reducing crime, it would encourage teenagers to drink more responsibly. Is he right?
