In the last five years in the UK, more than 100 children have died from knife wounds. But violence isn't inevitable and evidence shows that we need more mentoring, therapy, family support and police in the areas where violence is high. So why don't we do what works? Jon Yates from the Youth Endowment Fund looks at the schemes that have successfully reduced knife crime. He investigates why the lessons they've taught us haven\\u2019t been scaled up. And why we\\u2019re spending money on other things like knife awareness campaigns without any evidence they work. \\n \\nPresenter: Jon Yates \\nProducer: Rob Walker \\nEditor: Clare Fordham\\nSound Engineer: Richard Hannaford\\nProduction Coordinator: Maria Ogundele\\n \\nContributors: \\nKaryn McCluskey, Chief Executive, Community Justice Scotland \\nKaren Timoney, Director, KDT Wellness \\nGraeme Armstrong, author of The Young Team \\nLaura Knight, Toolkit and Evidence Engagement Lead, Youth Endowment Fund \\nGavin Stephens, Chair, National Police Chiefs\\u2019 Council \\nLawrence Sherman, Chief Scientific Officer, Metropolitan Police \\nJhemar Jonas, youth worker and musician \\nCiaran Thapar, youth worker and author of Cut Short \\nThomas Abt, Founding Director, Center for the Study and Practise of Violence Reduction at the University of Maryland; author of Bleeding Out \\nSajid Javid, Conservative MP for Bromsgrove, former Home Secretary \\nLuke Billingham, youth worker and researcher \\nJahnine Davis, Director, Listen Up
