The Lost Boyz by Justin Rollins

The Lost Boyz by Justin Rollins

A new book revealing the shocking truth of what really goes on in the lives and minds of Britain's disaffected youth.

'This is simply 100% raw talent being unleashed right from the start.. This book is a must-read for the prison population, academics and politicians': Inside Time. 'An unforgettable story of a violent and disturbed young man, who, despite spiraling out of control, is anchored by his friendships and the power of his gang community. Group work readers will likely identify this as a particularly significant aspect of the narrative': Social Work With Groups. 'Reading this book is a little like living a nightmare, but you can always close the book, Justin Rollins actually lived this life; what a nightmarish time': Graphotism. 'This book confirms that the effects of childhood trauma can take their toll on some individuals, depending on how they're dealt with - and it also confirms that the age-old effect of peer pressure can really make young people do some crazy stuff... but there are some real dark moments in there so be prepared': Keep the Faith. 'In writing this book, which was a long and painful journey for him, Justin hopes to lay his ghosts of the past to rest. And if it serves as a warning to even one kid who may be starting out on the same road, then it is a job well done': Noel 'Razor' Smith, crime writer (from the Foreword).

Justin Rollins grew-up on the streets of south-London. He is now a professional graffiti artist and works to steer young people away from a life of crime. Noel 'Razor' Smith is the best-selling author of A Few Kind Words and a Loaded Gun and works for the prison newspaper Inside Time
