3. We all have the ability to envision what it looks like when it’s fixed. For some it looks like a hilltop in Tuscany. That’s okay, but we should be honest about it. Part of what makes the hilltop appealing is that there aren’t swarms of young people in hoodies hanging around the market square. Let’s be honest about that too, and ask them where they’d like to be and what they’d like to be doing. The answer may not be as scary as asking the question feels. In the absence of a working relationship with the “ordinary citizen” a small step towards trust and engagement can only be better than what has gone before.
4. Many of our existing policies and strategies are founded on the gloomy premise that everyone is a potential problem, is potentially criminal. We plan our interventions around diverting young people from crime and violence, in designing our public spaces to prevent criminality, reduce the opportunity for victimization, and protect the vulnerable from harm. What happens if instead we work from the perspective that everyone is potentially fabulous? Let’s craft strategies that aim to turn
every young person into an entrepreneur, an inventor, an innovator, a healer, a compelling leader, a community builder, a gardener, a farmer, a visionary parent a contributor, an inspiring artist a great teacher. And let’s ask these future assets of our society what they think it looks like when it’s fixed, and how they can best contribute to getting us there.

I hope for all our sakes that at least some of them offer innovative, human and optimistic options – and I hope you listen with your heart as well as your head.
