Stephen, 18, was murdered by racist thugs in Eltham, south-east London, in 1993. Mr Lawrence said: “I have always said that people who live in leafy suburbs can no longer ignore the issues
that are happening in the city. We have to work together to bring about change. “ The police cannot achieve this alone, this is why I am committed to the VCPB and the movement that we are
starting.” The body will research and promote anti-crime initiatives, as well as helping young people into businesses or work. Metropolitan Police chief Cressida Dick said: “I think the
vast majority of people going about their business in London will be very safe. "London is a safe city by anybody’s standards. “I think what Neville is saying is we have even seen some
knife crime in areas people in the past didn’t expect to see it, and that is a challenge.” Ms Dick said new officers she is recruiting “will be part of the fight against violent crime and
they will be reaching into our communities giving a really good, compassionate service to victims”.
