As the number of teenagers stabbed to death in the UK this year rises to 28, and the Government launches an explicit campaign to tackle knife crime, Emma-Jane Cross, Chief Executive of Beatbullying, made the following statement:
“Whilst Beatbullying welcomes these new measures to protect young people, we are acutely aware that they do not address the root causes of conflict and violent behaviours. Young people are using violence, fear and exclusion to intimidate and threaten others. It is bullying in its most extreme form. When bullying goes unchecked in our schools and communities, the breeding ground for gang culture prospers.
