PODCAST: Research in Practice- A sister's experience of county lines

This series of podcasts explores a sister's experience of being a family member when someone is being criminally exploited.

In part one of a three part podcast series, Sara (a pseudonym) speaks to Research in Practice Assistant Director Susannah Bowyer about her experience of being a family member of someone who is being criminally exploited.

This episode addresses why Sara thinks her brother was exploited in terms of push and pulls factors. It talks about his early life and how he was exploited and groomed both at the beginning and as it progressed. We also come to understand how her brother doesn’t fit the media stereotype.
