Opinion: Hot Issue - Should audio devices be used to dispersegroups?

1 min read

NO - BILL BADHAM, senior development officer, participation team, The National Youth Agency

Mosquito devices used against children and young people in public places are degrading and breach their human rights. They have a right to meet together and enjoy the public space, not be hounded out by hurtful gadgets not even fit for a dog.

Problems are not confined to the young and can be responded to effectively and humanely. I look forward to communities of mutual respect where electronic gadgets aren't used to send out sound waves that hurt the ears of the young.

YES - PETER DOUGLAS OSBORN, Conservative councillor, Birmingham Council
