The head of London police acknowledges tackling the recent spike in violent crime will be a challenge, and says a task force has just been set up.

London's violent crime has risen dramatically in the last few years. 

As a result, the government is supporting community-led projects to tackle violent crime in the city.

This boxing club is a project that tries to keep men and boys off the streets, out of gangs, and most importantly, alive.
