4:47Now PlayingUK gangs are keeping "scoreboards" of knife and gun violence as part of a brutal game fuelled by YouTube videos in which they brag about their crimes.
Points are given for the severity of the injuries inflicted and the location on the body.
A YouTube spokesperson said:
“We have developed policies specifically to help tackle videos related to knife crime in the UK and are continuing to work constructively with experts on this issue.
"We have a dedicated process for the police and the Prison Service to flag videos directly to our teams because we often need specialist context from law enforcement to identify real-life threats.
"Along with others in the UK, we share the deep concern about this issue and do not want our platform used to incite violence.”
