Dayton Powell from Empire Fighting Chance gym says young people are scared and need guidance.
Dayton Powell wants to encourage young people involved in gang culture to think of their futureA man who was stabbed in the stomach as a teenager is rallying to "keep kids off the streets".
He believes young people are carrying weapons due to "annihilation anxiety" and the fear of imminent threat.Annihilation anxiety is triggered by a survival threat where individuals feels helpless when faced with potential danger, which can often lead to self-destructive behaviours. "I'm a lived experience practitioner because I've been a victim of knife crime myself," said Mr Powell.Mr Powell says he wants to give back to the community by showing young people the reality of gang culture, and how easily carrying a weapon can ruin lives.
He added that potential factors contributing to these anxieties are "untreated inter-generational trauma" coupled with disadvantaged socio-economic circumstances.
