Stop & Think

Overview

Exploring Police Stop and Search/Account, weapon and drug carrying, anti-social behaviour, gangs and crime, police relations, community safety

Arc’s Stop & Think is an engaging intervention programme available to both primary and secondary students - using live, participative theatre to help improve Police and community relations and bust the myths surrounding Stop and Search, including:

  • Why the Police use 'Stop and Search' or 'Stop and Account' and the difference between them,
  • Young people’s legal rights and responsibilities,
  • What behaviours might cause young people to be stopped,
  • The legal implications of drugs, weapon carrying and anti-social behaviour, 
  • The realities of County Lines, grooming and Child Criminal and Sexual Exploitation etc.,
  • How to behave during a 'stop' in order that no offences are committed as a result of the procedure itself.
