Anyone who follows the news in Brent cannot fail to have been dismayed by an apparent surge in stabbings and shootings over recent months.

But what is the root of the problem and how can it be tackled? The Brent & Kilburn Times has been looking deeper into the violence on our streets and has seen first-hand the efforts being made to stop it.
