      Youngsters told me recently ‘selling drugs is the only way to make good money’. Prison seen as an easily coped-with occupational hazard. EITHER multiagency attack on drug supply routes from source to street (huge resources rqd) OR take drugs out of criminals hands (huge receipts)

      Exactly the battle I had when trying to divert YP’s away from this lifestyle into a meaningful career Brian. I had success but was a challenge and not frequent.

      40 hours at a check-out in Tesco or 4 hours selling drugs. Is that grooming or economics?

      Factor in the risks and associated costs of the drugs economy, including violence, arrests, indebtedness, imprisonment, future prospects, and the wage premium may not look as attractive. >

      Agreed but young more resilient in face of downsides. Costs seen as acceptable by those who’ve experienced them & irrelevant to those who haven’t.

          I don't disagree with you. Nevertheless, I've long thought a decent evidence base about the economics of involvement in the street drugs economy - along the lines of the Freakonomics chapter - would provide a powerful basis for helping young make better decisions >

          > I recall having this exact discussion with a group of 30ish 16-24 yr olds at a youth service in Brent in mid-2000s off the back of research on gun crime I did there. Was clear most hadn't thought about the bigger picture.
