3. 'Pull towards gang culture too strong'

Anatomy of a Stabbing: Episode 3

The UK is experiencing record levels of stabbings - more than 600 people have died since 2017.

R4 PM is following the story of one knife crime death. JJ McPhillips was murdered two years ago, and we've spent the last year following his mother Michelle as she tries to achieve justice, and campaigns to raise awareness about knife crime.

Today we continue Michelle's story, and we also find out more about some of the young people who are most often the victims of knife crime and gang disputes.

Here's the third in a series of reports on knife crime from out reporter Andrew Bomford.
