Script draft 2

The rise in Knife crime

Fahmida Bibi Ali

28/01/16

Teenagers in London say not enough is done to tackle the knife crime in the capital.

They raised the concern following news that the number of teenagers stabbed to death in London increased in 2015.

Here’s Fahmida Ali with the story.

The Metropolitan police say that knife crime in London rose by more than 50 percent in London in 2015.

At the end of last year 15 youths had been murdered by the knife.

Already one teenager has been stabbed to death in 2016. 16-year-old Charilie Kuyutompo was murdered at an East London birthday party on 10^th January.

This compares sharply with 8 teen fatalities the previous year.

Following this rising trend the Met say they are monitoring the internet and seizing knives bought on the dark web and found in teenagers’ possession.

However, these young Londoners believe that, that is not enough.

DUR:

In an exclusive email to Wassup FM, one charity sent advice to both the police and young people.

The Ben Kinsella Trust aims to expose the dangers of knife crime.

They say that gang culture and fear are the main reasons why young people become involved with knives.

They believe the police, schools, families and communities should jointly tackle these issues as a starting point.

P10: Continguency plan

Firstly, for a second voice insert or quote in the script of my radio I have decided to interview a police officer, but if I am unable to contact a police officer, I will be contacting Mr Jordan who is the sixth form leader of Central Foundation Girls school sixth form

The reason for contacting the police officer would be to gain further information on how the Metropolitan Police in London hope to tackle knife crime in the future.

However, if I end up contacting Mr Jordan, I hope to gain further information on how knife crime awareness will be promoted in Central Foundation Girls school Sixth form in the future.

The rise in Knife crime

Fahmida Bibi Ali

28/01/16

Teenagers in London say not enough is done to tackle knife crime and prevent the rise in knife crime as of 2015.

Metropolitan police say that there has been an 18% rise in knife crime in London in 2015.

The Ben Kinsella Trust charity say that “partially gang culture, partially fear” contribute to reasons 

why young people become involved with knives.

In the streets of East London I caught up with teenagers who gave their opinions of whether they believe enough has been done to tackle knife crime and what more could be done.

Cue: VOX POP

I also spoke with the Sixth Form leader of Central Foundation Girls School Sixth Form Mr Jordan, who says…

P5: Radio script annotation

This is an example of a good radio script that me and my group annotated. First, we annotated the key features that are conventionally found in radio scripts, such as the slug, the writer and more, so that we could include them in our personal radio scripts. Moreover, this script was helpful in allowing me to understand the importance of the leading sentence, as it generally contains the 5 w's (who, what, when, where and why, which actually comes later in the script) that sum up the story and is used to grab the interest of the listeners. Therefore, I will be using the leading sentence of this script to influence the leading sentence of my script.
