Keir Starmer and Idris Elba launch project to tackle knife crime national crisis'

"As director of public prosecutions, I saw first-hand the devastating impact that knife crime has on young people and their families. This is a national crisis that we will tackle head on. We will take this moment to come together as a country – politicians, families of victims, young people themselves, community leaders and tech companies – to halve knife crime and take back our streets."

"We need to tackle the root causes of knife crime, not just the symptoms. The coalition is a positive step toward rehabilitating our communities from the core issues that drive this tragic reality, fostering a safer environment for our youth and creating a brighter future for the next generation."
