Respect Youth - End the demonisation Stop the negative media presentation against young people and their cultural identity e.g.

hoodies, as well as ending the phrases to describe youth e.g. hooligans. Stop the needless negative legal discrimination against young people. ASBOs in particu-

lar have proven that they do not work as a deterrent as kids are now competing to get an ASBO as a status symbol.

End discriminatory stop and search Punish drug dealers not drug users Voting age should be reduced to 16, if you can fight for your country then you should be

able to vote. More investment is desperately needed towards existing youth clubs as well opening up

new facilities. They should all be open from 3.30- 8pm Mon-Fri and all-day on Saturday. Youth clubs should be free
