YOUNG PEOPLE AND INTERFACES Interface Violence and Policing 16. While most participants felt that those young people who got involved in interface violence did so for fun to relieve boredom, this also tended to be more focused on the motivations of ‘our community’. As such the motivations of young people from the ‘Other’ community were viewed as more sectarian in origin. 17. Youth and interface workers talked about the role of young people from hinterland communities in interface violence. This is significant given that we know little about how far the impact of an interface ripples out in to neighbouring communities. 18. Several youth and interface workers were also concerned that the police in their opinion did not have a standardised protocol from which to engage with young people on the streets. 19. A number of both Catholic and Protestant young people believed that in a riot situation the police treated their community ‘unfairly’ compared to the ‘Other’ community. 20. Perceptions of the police were also impacted upon by the moving on of young people from various public spaces. This also fed in to a general view among many young people that they are ‘unfairly’ treated when compared to adults using public space. Transforming the interface 21. The majority of young people want to be included in the discussion about what happens next to make their areas better places to live. The area based action plans envisaged in the Programme for Government (OFMdFM 2011) may provide a means in which young people can be included in the consultation process moving forward. 22. CRC and the ICP are well placed to identify young people in local communities and provide them with information about potential developments in interface areas. The three phased approach to consultation identified in the previous section may provide an appropriate means of properly consulting with young people and including them in the decision making process with regards to interface issues. 34
