Abstract

The article reports on the call of young people to persuade professional footballers to wear green wristbands in Surrey, England. According to the author, the wristbands aim to unite all people for the suppression of knife crime after a 16- year-old Londoner Ben Kinsella was stabbed to death. Spelthorne Borough Council youth and arts officer Andy Holdaway noted that knife crime is not prevalence in the state, however, young people are concerned on their safety and to help increase awareness.
