Channel 4 News anchor Jon Snow is making his computer game debut in support of the broadcaster's Disarming Britain season examining the effect of gun and knife crime on Britain's streets. An animated Snow features in the scene of a violent crime in the online game, which is called Dead Ends and was specially commissioned by Channel 4 to raise awareness of the dangers and consequences of street crime. The game which went live yesterday centres on a new gang recruit called Keith Wilcox and a police detective investigating a gang killing. Dead Ends involves interrogating witnesses, chasing suspects, passing gang initiation tests and navigating dangerous streets. Snow recorded scripted dialogue especially for the project and has taken part in a Making Of documentary about the game that will be shown on Channel 4's website. In the documentary Snow says: "I'm extremely excited. I've never been in any kind of a game before. I think computer games are a fantastic means of communication - everybody plays them and I think they're a terrific way of getting messages through." Produced by RollingSound, which works to provide multimedia out-reach projects to young people, the online game was made through collaborations with young people, ex-offenders, the Metropolitan police and youth workers. The process was managed by digital marketing agency Profero. Disarming Britain is a special season of programmes about the increasing use of violence and ...

The elimination of nuclear weapons has resurfaced as a proposition after four former American secretaries of state and defence — George Schulz, Henry Kissinger, William Perry and Samuel Nunn — mentioned this possibility in newspaper articles in January 2007 and earlier this year. The previous British foreign minister and the Norwegian foreign minister welcomed this initiative. Senators McCain and Obama, the two American presidential candidates, have endorsed it, raising hopes that the idea of elimination may make some headway with the new administration in the United States of America. It is a dramatic demonstration of the US’s soft power that it can present for serious global discussion simply through op-ed pieces themes it had itself firmly rejected previously as impractical and illusory. ...

Young people benefiting from the services of homelesness charity Centrepoint took part in the 'Disarming Britain' debate on street weapons. Many of the people using Centrepoint services have been affected by the increasing use of weapons on Britain’s streets and the rising number of deaths of young people as a result, both directly and indirectly. For some, this contributed to the circumstances in which they found themselves homeless. For all, it is a constant fear and potential... ...

I’ve been meaning to link to this Hilzoy post for awhile, because it gets at a very important point: If people want to redefine the word “racist” so that only actual slaveholders count, let them. I’m more interested in the “critical reflection” [Ta-Nehasi] Coates rightly says that the “I’m not a racist” move is designed to shut down; in asking: does race play a role in someone’s thought and action that it ought not to play? rather than in asking: does that role reach whatever bar of horrificness s/he wants to say it would have to meet to qualify as “racist”? I’ve tried to make this point in my own work with my distinction between “finding the evildoer” and “solving the problem” in racial discourse. When engaging in dialogue on issues of race, I am not particularly interested in figuring out whether my interlocutros are Bad People, even if I disagree with them or think their views/policy positions are part of the structure which reinforces racial hierarchy in America. I’d much rather, as Hilzoy and Coates say, critically reflect on the manner in which those views intersect with race and racial inequality in the hopes that we can come to just solutions to the issue. I am more than willing to “sacrifice” calling these people racist in exchange for having that conversation. But the corallary to this is that a lot of people tend assume that any liberal critique of their views on race is akin to calling them a racist. Over the past few ...
