5:46Now PlayingLondon appears to have seen a sharp rise in knife crime. Data released from 32 police forces revealed two and a half thousand weapons were seized at schools between April 2015 and the beginning of 2017, including axes, air guns and nearly 500 knives. To discuss what’s behind these figures, Emily Maitlis is joined by Dr Marian Fitzgerald, Professor of Criminology at the University of Kent, and Sheldon Thomas, founder and chief executive of Gangsline, which aims to prevent gang violence.
