<p>Actress Brooke Kinsella is to launch her report on tackling knife crime on Wednesday, two and a half years after her brother Ben was stabbed to death.</p>
<p>The former EastEnders star &#8211; whose 16-year-old sibling was knifed in a north London street in 2008 &#8211; is expected to recommend that children are educated at school about the dangers of bladed weapons.</p>
<p>She is also likely to call for more action to combat the problem of girl gangs.</p>
<p>Early intervention must begin at primary school level, while knife crime education should be part of the secondary school curriculum, the report is expected to say.</p>
<p>Home Secretary Theresa May will introduce Ms Kinsella&#8217;s report Tackling Knife Crime Together &#8211; a review of local anti-knife crime projects.</p>
<p>The actress told the Sunday Times: &#8220;There are many, many good kids out there but a small percentage of this generation has got lost in knife culture, and if we don&#8217;t want to lose the next generation, starting at 14 or 15 is too late. By then they&#8217;re in it and it&#8217;s quite hard to change their minds.</p>
<p>&#8220;Early intervention is important because it&#8217;s when kids go from being king of the castle at primary school to bottom of the food chain at secondary. That&#8217;s when they have to start forming groups to protect themselves.&#8221;</p>
<p>Ms Kinsella began working with the Tories on knife crime before the general election and spent July and August talking to project leaders and community workers about the issue.</p>
<p>Her brother died on June 29, 2008 after a fight in a bar spilled out on to the streets in Islington. He had been celebrating the end of his GCSEs.</p>
