A new VR initiative by Birmingham’s Cornerstone VR aims to educate young people about the grim realities of knife crime by immersing them in scenarios where they can experience the perspectives of a victim, an attacker, or a bystander. Launched in response to increasing knife-related murders, the program uses insights from child psychologists and police to convey the rapid escalation of violence stemming from social media conflicts. This innovative approach seeks to foster empathy among youth, addressing the concerning trend of indifference seen in recent murder trials.
