There has been a lot of discussion in CC lately about gun rights and gun control. So when I saw this article today, I thought knife crime would be a good topic to discuss. Please read the full article in the screenshots I posted (sorry it’s long, but I didn’t want to leave any info out).

What do you think needs to be done to prevent knife crime? I think first we need to know who is committing these crimes, but I didn’t see that info in the article. It’d be much harder to place restrictions on knives, as they are not used solely as a weapon.

For those of you that live in the UK, do you have any thoughts on why there has been an increase in violence and homicides recently?
