Police abuse of street children is symptomatic of three problems: the increasing population of street children, the perception of street children as criminals, and the lawlessness of police.

 NetRhythms: Book reviews
Folk singer Shirley Collins was just 19 when she met and became involved with the American folklorist Alan Lomax, and in 1959 she set off with him on a year-long trip to the States to discover the traditional music of America's heartland.
Their adventure into the cultural roots of the deep South (visiting Virginia, Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, Arkansas and Georgia) has passed into legend, and the legacy of field recordings Lomax made during that period is still being assessed in detail, although its immense importance has for a time now been almost universally recognised.
Richie's penchant for observing and unearthing the more intriguing obscurities of the wayward music scene stands him in good stead for this exercise, and enables him to forge a healthy and balanced perspective on the emerging folk-rock movement (not that it would have been acknowledged as such at the time).
