Cheryl, the thing, you're doing this for Olivia, aren't you?
00:03
It's in honour of your little girl.
00:05
And to try and make her life mean even more,
00:10
not just to you, but to everybody, and to have an impact on your community.
00:15
The interesting thing, and I think it must be the greatest challenge,
00:18
is that you're sat here now,
00:20
and people from your community will be watching,
00:22
and they'll watch this documentary.
00:24
But the one single thing that affects that community
00:26
is this grass culture,
00:28
this idea that you can't talk about the most horrific crimes
00:32
and offences that are happening that are affecting their own people.
00:36
And that makes the police jobs harder,
00:38
and also gives the criminals carte blanche to carry on the way they are.
00:42
Yeah, it does.
00:44
What would you say to your community, your friends, your neighbours,
00:47
people living in streets nearby?
00:48
What is your message to them about this hideous, no-grass culture that takes place?
00:53
Anything that you know you need to speak up.
00:57
I don't know how anyone can live with the conscience of knowing
01:04
something that really bad has happened.
01:06
They know that the people that have done it, they need to speak up.
01:13
If it was themselves, they've got to think that if it happened to themselves,
01:17
they'd want somebody else to speak up
01:20
if they knew about who it was or what was going on.
01:25
You just can't keep quiet,
01:29
because it's just going to carry on and it's going to get worse.
01:31
Well, that's the point. You end up in this vicious circle, don't you?
01:33
When you don't respect the law,
01:35
the power ends up in the criminals and the gangs.
01:39
And what are the police there for?
01:41
And how's the community going to get any better?
01:43
It'll just get worse, won't it?
01:45
It will.
01:46
I think we have also, you know, we understand the fear factor.
01:50
People are frightened of repercussions.
01:52
And, you know, we're not naive to that fact.
01:55
But it can be done anonymously as well.
01:57
You don't have to give your name.
02:01
And quite often, sometimes when you hear these cases,
02:03
they are anonymous tip-offs.
02:04
There'll be an anonymous call that,
02:05
look, I think you need to look in that direction,
02:06
or here's a bit of information.
02:08
And sometimes just that small bit of information
02:10
can go a long way, I suspect, for the police.
02:13
Absolutely.
