A33 - Ballad of the Two Charlies
Tales from the Robber's Dog
"The Ballad of the Two Charlies" was developed out of a crack intervention project funded by Salford DAAT and aims to accelerate the process of stigmatising crack within a community by drawing on the stories of a group of people engaged in crime and crack use and communicating their experiences to a younger audience who are on the fringes of this lifestyle. It is a 32 page illustrated poem which tells the story of Charlie Chalk and Charlie Cheese and their experiences with crack cocaine.
The book is designed to be given out to arrestees who have tested positive for cocaine, either at a police station or as part of the Drug Intervention Program.
