Brooke Kinsella: Teach children about knife crime

Children as young as 10 should be taught in school about the dangers of knife crime, a report from ex-EastEnders star Brooke Kinsella says.

Her 16-year-old brother Ben was stabbed to death in north London in 2008.

Ms Kinsella, 27, appointed a government adviser on the issue last year, said "prevention" was the key word when it came to tackling knife crime.

The Home Office has announced it is to spend ÂŁ18m over the next two years to combat knife, gun and gang crime.
