Watch live as phase two of the Southport Inquiry opens with a focus on the role of the internet and social media influencing violence.
This part of the inquiry is expected to examine areas including the management of “violence fixated individuals”, the role of the internet and social media in influencing and enabling those individuals and the effectiveness of regulation relating to the sale and possession of offensive weapons.
The inquiry will have a seminar on violence fixated individuals – views from psychiatry, psychology and philosophy and will hear from Professor Quassim Cassam, Dr Tina Irani, Professor Laura Smith and Dr Richard Taylor.
Alice da Silva Aguiar, nine; Bebe King, six; and Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, were killed in the incident, and 23 other children escaped but suffered physical and psychological harm.
