Knife crime: Causes and possible solutions

Following another fatal stabbing in London, we have been asking how to tackle the problem.

Knife crime has risen for the first time in four years, according to Office for National Statistic figures for 2014-15.

There was also a 10% rise in knife possession offences compared to the previous year.

We discussed the issue with a range of people with direct experience, from former gang members and officials to mothers whose sons were stabbed to death.
