N2  - The X-It gang desistance programme began in 2004 in the wake of a spate of fatal, gang-related shootings in Brixton, South London. The programme is owned and run by the X-It peer youth workers, gang-involved young people who wish to find alternatives to gang violence for other young people living in gang-affected neighbourhoods. The programme won the Guardian Public Service Award in 2007, when peer youth workers from the programme gave evidence to the Home Affairs Select Committee on young black people and the criminal justice system.<p />
