Voices from Grand Challenges - Runaway children in Mumbai with Dr Kartikeya Tripathi

In the latest episode of UCL Grand Challenges’ podcast series we speak to Dr Kartikeya Tripathi, Lecturer in the Department of Crime Science at UCL on his work researching the police response to runaway adolescents on Mumbai's rail network. With 3,000 missing children found annually on Mumbai's rail network, the project, supported by UCL's Grand Challenge of Justice & Equality, worked with frontline railway police officers, NGOs, and child welfare officers to examine how to safeguard the rights of children.
