Patrick Green on: Why kids carry and kill with knives

This episode covers the sensitive topic of knife crime, murder and violence against young adults and children.

'Violence is not inevitable, it can be stopped, we, as individuals can do a huge amount to do that, simply by talking to the young people that are around us, if you're a parent, if you're a sports coach, whatever you do, talking to young people is so so important.'

This episode features Patrick Green, CEO of The Ben Kinsella Trust. This charity’s mission is to tackle knife crime through education and campaigning and their vision is a society where no family or community suffers at the hands of knife crime.

Ben Kinsella was a teenager celebrating the end of his GCSEs when he was brutally murdered in 2008 by three men, over an incident with which he had nothing to do with. Three men were eventually brought to justice. But the lives of Ben's family and friends were changed forever.
