'Tough love' Cooper promises £100m to help stop knife crime

The shadow home secretary will tell the Labour party conference in Liverpool that under a Keir Starmerled government the "young futures" programme will target 92 communities blighted by youth crime and violence.

Each community will be offered a "youth futures hub" - a type of Sure Start centre for teenagers - to bring together mental health specialists, youth workers and neighbourhood police officers "to prevent young people from being drawn into violence".

On the eve of her speech, Cooper told the Guardian her party wanted to address some of the underlying causes behind recent stabbings and referred to the death last month of Elianne Andam in Croydon, south London.
