This is being ignored far too much. It needs discussing more openly.

Teenage murder rate in London is the highest since 2008. This is also reflected in many parts of the country. Particularly locally for me.
What can be done about it? Millions needs pumping into community projects, youth, education, and schools. Drugs and poverty are the route cause of a lot of these issues, but there is no overnight fix.
I saw an article the other day but can’t find it now about the worrying trend of the border force and local authorities dumping young single immigrant males into poor areas who are then being taken advantage of by criminal gangs and drawn into the drug gang culture. They are making up an ever increasing number of those arrested for stabbings and murders. This needs addressing urgently. They are being given no future.
Edit. I've removed the turning point thing. I'd never heard of them.
