June 2025 Fellows' update: Leisa Nichols-Drew
Leisa Nichols-Drew (CF 2018) was recently cited in Parliament by Andy Slaughter MP, who introduced amendments to the Crime and Policing Bill addressing the sale and delivery of pointed knives. He referenced Leisa’s research on knife tip design, which provides key evidence that the point of a knife is the primary cause of injury in knife crime.
Leisa also joined Southport attack survivor Leanne Lucas at the launch of the Let’s Be Blunt campaign at Parliament, in partnership with the Ben Kinsella Trust, which calls for wider adoption of round-tipped kitchen knives.
