Talking Point: What do young people think about anti-knife crime initiatives?

Knives were used in almost four out of ten killings of young people in the UK, according to figures released last week by the World Health Organization. The study found that a knife was used in 39.5 per cent of killings among young people aged 10 to 29 between 2004 and 2006. Earlier this month, the Scottish government introduced a youth initiative aimed at raising knife crime awareness and Plymouth has started a month-long knife amnesty in the city. Brooke Kinsella, whose brother Ben was a victim of knife crime, has been asked to meet young people participating in anti-knife crime initiatives to see which are the most effective. Kinsella will report back to the Home Office later this year, and her evidence will help drive the government's approach to tackling knife crime among young people.
