County Lines

PRODUCTION: Falling Tree, BBC Radio 4
COUNTRY: UK
YEAR: 2023
LENGTH: 28′
AUTHORS: Phoebe McIndoe, Redzi Bernard

Four people recount their involvement in “county lines”, criminal gangs that exploit children and vulnerable adults to sell drugs in the UK. Beneath their stories lie a series of secret and unanswered questions.

Who gets to decide the line between criminal and victim? Why do we only observe these gangs through the lens of crime and punishment? And how well is the system really able to defend and protect individuals and families devastated by the impact of “county lines”?
