County Lines

Lights Out Series 5

Four people recount their involvement with 'county lines' - gangs that exploit children and vulnerable adults to sell drugs around the UK.

Four people recount their involvement with 鈥渃ounty lines鈥� - gangs that exploit children and vulnerable adults to sell drugs around the UK.

Underneath their stories lies a series of unspoken, unanswered questions. Who gets to decide the boundary between criminal and victim? Why do we view 'county lines' through the lens of crime and punishment? And how well does the system support individuals and families devastated by the impact of 'county lines'?
