Terms like "knife crime" and "gangs" oversimplify & often obscure the complex social dynamics involved. Reducing a range of issues—poverty, structural inequality, trauma, marginalisation, lack of opportunity into a single, stigmatised term "knife crime" or demonising label "gang"
Why does the West Midlands have the worst rate of knife crime in the country? Teswal White, chief executive of @ACTCIC says deprivation is the problem. #KayBurley SG

We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Benjamin Zephaniah. He was a powerful voice for our community, using his talents as a civil-rights activist, writer, poet and actor to tell stories about our community and inspire generations to strive for greatness. His legacy will forever live on, and we thank him for everything he gave us. Rest in Power ✊🏾
