When was the last time you ventured into a town or city centre late on a Friday night? The chances are it will look, sound and smell very different from the quiet shopping bustle of a few hours before.
In Guildford, Surrey, the police have described the town as having a Jekyll-and-Hyde character with over 10,000 young people from the region coming to drink in the numerous pubs and clubs over a typical weekend.
Guildford has a growing drink, drug and vandalism problem with broken bottles, windows and fights a weekly occurrence. On occasions the violence escalates and there have been serious incidents over the last few years including several murders.
