NEW CAR CRIME DVD LAUNCHED


The latest DVD video from Insight Moving Images Ltd has been launched today at Liverpool FACT.

‘Reverse Gear’ highlights the dangers of joyriding and drink driving for young people and the impact this can have on their family and friends.

The DVD video was produced by Insight for Liverpool Youth Offending Service.

The video will be used in preventative workshops at the Youth Offending Centre and shown to pupils at the city's secondary schools as part of the Car Offending Programme, which aims to reduce the number of youngsters who get involved in vehicle crime.

Reverse Gear has several chapters designed to encourage discussion among young people about what to do if placed in a similar situation, and explore how the actions of an individual can put others in danger.
Please be advised this film contains some strong language.


Councillor Marilyn Fielding, Liverpool's executive member for safer, stronger communities, said: "This thought-provoking film is a graphic way of illustrating the dangers of drink driving and joyriding. By bringing this issue to life in a realistic way on screen, we can get a strong message across to young people that there can be horrific consequences from their actions. This will send out a very powerful message to many young people and hopefully prevent accidents or even deaths."
