Young people at risk of getting caught up in violence are being urged by the MPS to visit Youtube to watch a series of interactive films - 'Choose a Different Ending' - which are the centre of its latest anti-weapons campaign.

The campaign, which runs from 21 November to 24 December, also features radio partnership activity with Kiss and Choice (including DJ advertorials, promotion on their websites and newsletters); traditional radio spot ads exhorting young people to 'search online for choose a different ending'; 30 second film trailers on all of the MTV channels and display adverts on a number of platforms such as Facebook, MSN Messenger, Spotify and Vidzone (Playstation 3 platform).

Police officers on boroughs have also been supplied with a range of impactive posters/postcards for distribution to pupils to promote the activity locally among the target audience via schools and Safer Neighbourhoods teams.

Choose a Different Ending asks viewers to make decisions in relation to various scenarios relating to a fictionalised knife crime incident and learn what outcome those decisions have.

It aims is to encourage the target audience (13-15-year-olds) to learn more about the dangers and consequences of carrying a weapon and to increase public confidence and understanding of the MPS work in tackling serious youth violence.
