Jahmal - a man shaped by his mother

Jahmal was born in working class of Britain. His mother, who never had time for him and severely neglected him, is a personal assistant who is studying part-time for a psychology degree. He loves music is passionate about being a DJ, but can‘t find a job because of his skin colour. Does his social background have something to do with his cruel act? Jahmal tells about some traumatic events that happened to his mom. She was the victim of several police raids, which in the end were unfounded. Is that were this systematic hatred of the police comes from? Did he want to avenge his mother that night? Even after spending years in prison, he claims that the attack had a meaning and wasn’t to 100% wrong. At the same time, he wants to make sure that children have the opportunity to get off the streets. In conclusion, it can be said that social background strongly influences people‘s behavior and way of thinking, as can be seen in the example of Jahmal.
