- Thought of many different titles for both my 500 word piece and infographic, these were my favourite. Some of them are puns and some are straight to the point.
TITLE IDEAS:
- Grime not Crime
- Does Drill Music Encourage Stabbings Across London?
- The Link Between Crime & Drill Music
- The Rise Of Knife Crime Along With Drill Music

Here are the things that I would like to include into my 500 word piece.
30th April
- I have started heavily drafting my piece and have also started drafting my infographic and how I would want it to look.
- Still unclear on the colour scheme to go for.
- Might go for red and black because they compliment each other and also connote crime.
- Have thought of an angle and have also gathered all of my statistics, a majority of them are from ONS.
1st May
- Have researched two of the biggest deaths and gang related/drill related crimes in the UK over two completely different time periods:
- First one being Jermaine Goupall who was killed due to drill rappers who foreshadowed his death in their lyrics.
- Second one being Operation Trident which was an operation started by the government which targeted afro-caribbean communities due to a similar spur of stabbings that took place in 2002.

Graph Ideas:
Bar charts, Pie Charts and Pictograms?
