Case study

Michael is 19 years old. He was 'statemented' as young child and experienced difficulties at school - he was temporary excluded from primary school in three occasions because of violence and aggression toward other children. Staff reported that he would remain calm during his punishment but would invariably lash out at other children some hours later. At the age of 15 Michael was permanently excluded from secondary school after a series of temporary exclusions for violence against pupils and staff. Michael subsequently attended a pupil referral unit to contribute his education, and here he encountered members of a county lines gang who offered him money to be a courier. Now that Michael is a young adult, he boxes regularly in a gym, and this has reduced the number of spontaneous fights he gets into. He is, however, an avoid social media user and has recently been touting gang members from his area online As a police officer, you come across Michael in response to an emergency call-out. You find out him in the street with a stab wound to his chest - On-lookers tell you he was involved in a fight between rival gangs.
