It draws on data from a range of sources - data has been selected based on what it tells us about the extent of violence in Birmingham, but also based on what it reveals about the risk factors that increase the likelihood of young people being drawn into violence and the threat of exploitation. Full details of the data used and the sources are available in the references on page 20. The risk factors are varied and should not be considered direct causes, but there are strong correlations between rates of child poverty, adversity, mental health and school exclusions, and rates of violence. The report focuses on youth violence and knife crime. It begins by looking at the extent of youth violence in Birmingham in recent years, according to Police incident data and NHS data on hospital admissions for assault with a sharp object (usually knife wounds).
