Effective Preventative Knife Crime Education
Effective Preventative Knife Crime Education – A South Yorkshire Violence Reduction Unit funded project, by Learn Sheffield.
Introduction
Introduction – Sue Finnigan
This project builds upon existing research into the most effective ways of educating young people about knife crime. It is focused on how those pupils who are likely to never be involved in knife crime can support the small minority who might be. Learn Sheffield was commissioned by the South Yorkshire Violence Reduction Unit (SYVRU) to undertake research and produce a set of resources and information around knife crime prevention for schools in the county. The commission specified that these resources should be based on trauma-informed practice, should incorporate the research of the Youth Endowment Fund (YEF) in this area, and should aimed at young people who will most likely never be involved in knife crime.
