YouTube Description
as posted by the channelNish and Coco ask how we can save the UK from knife crime. It turns out that we already know what works - so why aren’t we doing it? And what role can we play?
Nish and Coco meet Jon Yates, who leads a charity that has been given £200 million by the Home Office to research what works and then put it into practice. He tells us about a targeted, interventionist approach, called ‘focused deterrence’ which helped violent crime fall dramatically in Glasgow in the last 20 years. Those lessons are now going to be applied in 5 cities in the Uk. One of those is Nottingham, from there we’re joined by Dr Marcellus Baz, a community champion who himself was stabbed and nearly died - what does he think of Jon’s plans?
Nish and Coco also cut through the rows about notebooks and WhatsApp messages to talk about why the Covid Inquiry really matters. Plus we salute the Secret Tory and ask is the Post Office racist?
Guests:
Jon Yates, Chief Executive of the Youth Endowment Fund
Dr Marcellus Baz, founder and CEO of Switch Up, which supports young people away from crime in Nottinghamshire
