BBC Radio Ulster - Sunday Sequence, Young Offenders, Shooting Poachers and Historic Riots

Youth crime, the outdoor relief riots of 1932 and the origins of paraclete and rubrics.

90% of children in Northern Ireland who serve a custodial sentence after breaking the law re-offend within a year of being released. How should society tackle this problem?

Nine out of 10 children in Northern Ireland who serve a custodial sentence after breaking the law re-offend within a year of being released. How should society best tackle a problem that is costly to victims but also to the state - it costs over £300,000 a year to keep a young person in custody. Former Chief Probationary Officer Breidge Gadd and Eithne Gilligan from VOYPIC - Voice of Young People in Care discuss.

The 1932 Outdoor Relief riots in Belfast may have seemed like a pivotal point in history at the time as Catholic and Protestant working class united in the fight against poverty. However, the episode has largely disappeared from the public consciousness. Author Seán Mitchell's new book Struggle or Starve aims to change that.
