First Minister John Swinney has announced further measures to tackle knife crime and youth violence following several high-profile deaths. Community bleed kits will be rolled out across Scotland, alongside continued support for violence-prevention initiatives including No Knives, Better Lives, Youth Navigators and Mentors in Violence Prevention.
