“Archbishop urges Britain to be more positive towards young people” Christian Today (UK). January 1, 2012.

The Archbishop admitted that the events of the summer had been “horrific” and “showed us a face of our society we don’t like to think about—angry, destructive, lawless.”

However, he said it was crucial to remember that the youngsters involved were a minority and that most young people shared in the dismay at their behavior. . . .
