British PM launches coalition to fight knife crime

Mr Starmer launched the coalition to fight the "national crisis", bringing together campaign groups as well as families and young people affected by knife crime, the most common method of homicide in England and Wales.

The annual knife crime meeting aims to increase understanding of the causes behind youth involvement in knife crime.

The government is also looking to strengthen laws around the online sale of knives and younger people's access to them.
