Luke:

So, this is where you were attacked?

What happened?

It was just a stabbing. Basically, I was walking along and some boys drove past and seen me and made a phone call to the others who were waiting for me and jumped me and stabbed me.

How did you feel afterwards?

It damaged me emotionally, you know. It made me feel bad. I still feel it, y’know?

Was the person prosecuted?

I still didn’t report it to the police. There was no point.

Michael:

So, tell me about when you were attacked.

Well, basically a few days ago, I was coming out of a club in Southend and a little argument broke out with my mates and some other people and then someone stabbed me in the back.

How are you now?

Has it made you wary of going out at night?

I’m alright—I’ve been stabbed before a couple of times. I don’t like to be on my own though. If I see a group of people, I’m wary something will happen. I feel I need to carry a knife to protect myself.

Did you report it to the police?
Nah, I don’t believe in the police. Most of the police I don’t trust—I’ve been searched by them before and then rushed and beaten up and taken to the police station. I’m just happy that I’m okay and I don’t think they would have found the person anyway.

Amber:

When were you attacked?

It was Father’s Day last year. I got into a fight with a girl near Latimer Road tube station and her friend punched me in the nose and then they took my phone off me.

How did you feel afterwards?

I was upset, you know. It was really upsetting for me.

Did you report it to the police?

I didn’t wanna get the police involved.
