Actor Idris Elba says young people have solutions to tackle knife crime, from tougher sentences to removing loopholes for obtaining knives.
"And I feel like I don't know what to say to them, because they're literally holding these out of fear. But they have solutions." She said she had continued to live in Brixton since her son was killed, because it was "like a battlefield I can't retreat from"."We've got volunteers that are patrolling before school and after school, because we haven't got enough police officers.""And the most brutal thing is we're saying it's becoming the norm."It's not normal for us to be burying our children, or five-year-olds seeing dead bodies and shrines in our neighbourhood.
"It's alienated some communities, but its a power that a police officer will need in certain circumstances," he added.
