The Boxing Club Fighting Back Against Knife Crime
The latest stats show knife-related crimes are at their highest numbers for nine years – a 45.7% increase. While the government and police debate how best to tackle the crisis, some community figures are taking it upon themselves to stem the flow of murders. In 2014 Dwayne Simpson was murdered when he tried to intervene in a fight not far from his home in South London. In response Dwayne's mother Lorraine set up a boxing gym to honour his legacy of community outreach.
