London, UK. 26th May, 2018. People listen as a choir sings at the Brixton Seventh Day Adventist Church 'Be the Change' event in Windrush Square, Brixton against gun and knife crime. They had marched the short distance to the square from the church and were just beginning a programme of gospel singing, presentations and prayer for the community and for those affected by these crimes. London's murder rate has increased by over a third in the last three years, and last year saw a 22% increase in recorded knife crime and 11% in gun crime. Credit: Peter Marshall/Alamy Live News
London, UK. 26th May 2018. People listen as a choir sings at the Brixton Seventh Day Adventist Church 'Be the Change' event in Windrush Square, Brixton against gun and knife crime. They had marched the short distance to the square from the church and were just beginning a programme of gospel singing, presentations and prayer for the community and for those affected by these crimes. London's murder rate has increased by over a third in the last three years, and last year saw a 22% increase in recorded knife crime and 11% in gun crime. Of the 39 children and teenagers killed in the UK by knives last year over half were in London. The victims of knife crime are disproportionately young black men. Many attribute the rise in these crimes to the cuts in youth clubs, community projects, counselling and other services for young people, cuts in police and PCSO numbers and changes in illegal drug dealing.
