Knife violence is one of the biggest challenges facing our society. Simulation offers a way to involve young people in exploring the consequences of carrying a knife and responding when incidents occur. Realistic physical simulation invites participants to co-design scenarios that show the effects of a stab wound.

Building on over ten years of research, the lecture shows how healthcare and criminal justice professionals can work with young people to develop 'reciprocal illumination' for everyone who takes part.
