How can society halt the rise in teenage alcohol abuse?
Almost a year ago Sylvia Lancaster’s daughter Sophie was murdered because of the way she looked. During the trial Sylvia watched as the boys who had killed her daughter showed no remorse for what they had done. Afterwards she was so disturbed by what she saw that she decided to abandon her job as a youth worker. But the memory of Sophie and her wish that young people should be taught about the evils of intolerance changed Sylvia’s mind, and in search of solutions to the youth violence and binge-drinking that led to her daughter’s death Sylvia has been visiting other European countries to finds out how they are trying to halt the rise of alcohol abuse among the young. She joins Jenni to talk about her campaign for more tolerance between young people of different groups.
