Episode 665: Lennox Rodgers - Breaking Better (Audio Extract)

Lennox Rodgers had been to court five times by his 11th birthday and groomed into becoming a pimp by his 14th.

He spent half his life in London's murky underworld as a drug dealer, a gang enforcer, and an armed robber before he hit rock bottom, collapsed behind a bin on Oxford Street when a strange experience became the catalyst for him to turn his life around.

Now the co-founder and CEO of Refocus, an early intervention and crime prevention charity, Rodgers' book Breaking Better gives a searing and honest account of his descent into darkness and of how he found the light.

Today in a crime world special, we're bringing you an extract from his book read by Lennox and his wife, Bali.
