United Kingdom knife crime growing to epidemic levels


Of the five people stabbed this week, the youngest was 15-year-old Jay Hughes, who was attacked outside a chicken shop in broad daylight.

During the first six months of the year, police recorded 39,332 knife crime offenses -- a 12 percent increase over last year, according to the Office for National Statistics. Other violent crimes, including murder and robbery, also increased by double-digit percentages.

Not knife attacks - knife crime offenses.

n the year to March 2019, 22,041 people were cautioned, reprimanded or convicted for carrying a knife in England and Wales, most of whom were adults. But one in five - 4,451 - was under the age of 18.

Although knife crime is on the increase, it should be seen in context. It's relatively unusual for a violent incident to involve a knife, and rarer still for someone to need hospital treatment.

Most violence is caused by people hitting, kicking, shoving or slapping someone, sometimes during a fight and often when they're drunk; the police figures on violence also include crimes of harassment and stalking.

The Crime Survey for England and Wales, which includes offences that aren't reported to police, indicates that overall levels of violence have fallen by about a quarter since 2013.

Yet another good reason why alcohol should be banned.

I'm as meek and uncombative as they come. But try and ban my booze and I'll come after you with malice aforethought.

I mean, you linked to his chief adviser. It relates to him. The fact that Fox News doesn't know the difference between knife crime and knife attacks (I wonder if they also don't know the difference between gun crimes and gun attacks ) means he also doesn't. And, you know, he's the President so that's kind of important.
