question text	Her Majesty's Government, since the refreshed approach to the Home Office's ending gang and youth violence programme was announced in January 2016, how levels of gang and serious youth violence, including knife crime, have changed.
tabling member printed	Marquess of Lothian
uin	HL1010
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/07/2017 answer text <p>Violent crime recorded by the police, including knife crime has been increasing since 2014. Most of the recorded increase is thought to be due to improvements in police recording of crime following a critical HMIC report in 2014. However, some recent increases in knife crime in some areas of the country are thought to be real increases. The Ending Gang Violence and Exploitation programme launched in January 2016 has built on the work of the previous Ending Gang and Youth Violence programme. It has had a particular focus on tacking county lines and the associated abuse and violence. This includes a programme of local reviews to build resilience in areas to gang related violence and exploitation. We have just announced an extended programme of reviews and support for 2017/18.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 24/07/2017 14:15:51 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford
