In the UK, there were 39,818 knife crime offences in the 12 months ending September 2018, according to BBC research. Yet the solutions proposed by politicians and in the media often stigmatise the neighbourhoods and victims. So how do you take on a problem that is taking lives? In this episode we meet two people who have had real results in changing communities. We believe that those with first-hand experience of social issues have solutions to make change, and both Cherie and Eliza really use this principle in their incredible work with young people.
