Search The Punch keywords http://www.thepunch.com.au/search/ http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/bored-youth-breed-violence-in-north-melbourne/ When people ask me where I am from I know I’m likely to receive one of two responses when I say Craigieburn. “Sorry, I don’t know where that is” seems to be the predominant one, in which case I begin naming the surrounding areas. As I relay my list – Roxburgh Park, Greenvale, and Broadmeadows – I am usually confronted with increasingly bewildered expressions, and I realise that these people are unfamiliar with the northern suburbs. The second response, which on occasion is prompted by my answer to the first, usually encompasses the words “gangs” or “violence”. feedback@thepunch.com.au (Jessica Buccolieri) Article http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/bored-youth-breed-violence-in-north-melbourne/#comments http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/bored-youth-breed-violence-in-north-melbourne/#item4268 Mon, 18 Oct 2010 19:30:40 +0000 Jessica Buccolieri | Author bios | The Punch
