Ending the cycle of violence: what will it take to halve knife crime?

Sunday, September 27, 8:00am - 9:00am (EDT)

Time shown in-04:00 America, New York

Involvement in crime and violence has a devastating effect on the lives of children, their communities and wider society. The UK government has set out a plan to halve knife crime in the next decade. The strategy is focused on prevention through the provision of safe spaces and support in communities that need it most, innovation to target enforcement more precisely and changes to how the police and Youth Justice Services work together.

Join BIT and Nesta at this year’s Labour Party Conference to discuss what it would take to halve knife crime. Our expert panel of speakers will be chaired by Joe Owen, director of policy and government partnerships, Nesta and includes Tom McBride, director of the Ending Youth Violence Lab, BIT, Ben Lindsay OBE, founder and chief executive, Power the Fight and Dr Susan Griffiths, chief executive, The Young Foundation.
