violence
Several scenes of violence include those in which people are repeatedly stabbed, with blood in the aftermath of violence. Improvised weapons are also used, and these include a metal bracelet deployed as a knuckleduster. The bracelet is also used to repeatedly smash a man's knuckles, with accompanying wound detail. There are also several fight scenes, which include repeated heavy and targeted blows.
threat and horror
Scenes of violence are accompanied by threat, including those involving knives, chase sequences and the kidnapping of children.
language
Bad language is mild ('bloody', 'piss') and very mild ('moron', 'hell' and 'damn').
sex
There are verbal sex references relating to sex work and 'adult films'.
drugs
There are occasional scenes of drug misuse in which marijuana joints are smoked. There are also several verbal drug references, including references to children forced to consume drugs by a criminal; drug misuse is clearly condemned throughout.
sexual violence and sexual threat
There are brief non-graphic verbal references to the sexual harassment of women.
suicide and self-harm
The bodies of two teenage boys are seen hanging by the neck, which is thought to be a product of suicide, but this theory is later proven wrong.
injury detail
Some scenes of violence are accompanied by blood spurts during impacts of fists and weapons. Bloody images also feature in scenes in the aftermath of violence, such as bodily cuts and scrapes and clothing.
alcohol and smoking
Adults are frequently seen smoking and drinking alcohol, sometimes to excess.
additional issues
The teacher is an alcoholic; however, he reforms, and alcohol consumption is not condoned by the work as a whole. There are scenes in which two boys' hanging corpses are discovered after they have been murdered. There are also brief undetailed verbal references to sexual violence, scenes of emotional upset, and mild bad language ('bloody').
