Gang and Youth Violence

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what recent steps she has taken to reduce gang-related and youth violence.
Answer

Large areas of Government policy are having a positive impact on the matter. Specifically, we are supporting 29 local areas that face problems of gang and youth violence. That includes tackling young people possessing knives, which we were talking about a moment ago. We have also recently announced that we will provide practical support to another four areas.
