With all the news of late about youth crime, gendered violence, and
incarceration rates, we have found ourselves asking - I wonder what
Bernie thinks? Bernie Shakeshaft is the 2020 Australian Local Hero
of the Year recipient and the founder of Backtrack. It's a
community-led organisation for young people who are having a tough
time. In this chat, he delves into what helping those kids who need
it most means and why it makes a big difference. Club Picks: This
piece on the ABC looks at the data around youth offender rates and
the various solutions being offered. This Moree report,
written by Adam Harvey in March, paints a picture of what it is
like to live with the issue of youth crime on your doorstep. We
interviewed Adam Harvey previously on News Club about reporting on
conflict zones. This is the documentary made in 2018 about
BackTrack and a recent update to it. You can also watch the trailer
here. This is Bernie featured in the AFR’s Philanthropy edition. If
you don’t have time for the doco or our News Club interview, this
is an easy way to get across what he has built/is
building. Find out more about BackTrack here Host: Kate
