"Four people stabbed in supermarket in Croydon today. Sentencing today for the Stockport murderer. 12 year old murdered in Birmingham yesterday. Is random knife crime getting worse and what can be done about it ? Should it be harder to buy knives ? "27 million households with a dozen in every kitchen. Impossible to stop. | |||

"More stop and search in high crime areas ? " As I said in the other thread yesterday. Its not just a city problem. A greater police presence on the streets actual Bobbie's on the beat, small police stations re opened with 24hr access to a front desk. | |||

But will it make a material difference to knife crime? Would it have made a difference in any of the above cases? | |||

" The police unfortunately are there to deal with the consequences. Ring up Devon and Cornwall 101 and you’ll be on hold 30 mins minimum to report something suspicious (not emergency). We will get to a time when the military are on the streets as a safeguarding deterrent | |||

"It's definitely getting insanely worse. You have to constantly check your back these days. There isn't a solution. The thing that is annoying is we keep getting told it's an isolated incident. How many isolated cases become an epidemic. Every day this week there's been an isolated incident, Birmingham, Luton, Birmingham, Plymouth and Croydon. There are probably some we're still yet to hear about. As far as I can see it's an epidemic and Government need to act quick and sort it." Knife crime in England and Wales has increased over the last decade, with a 4% rise in the year ending June 2024. This is an 80% increase from the previous decade. | |||

What can be done with schools/ youth groups/ previous offenders giving talks etc. As above has said it’s reported as a series of individual incidents. 49,000 reported knife attacks 2023/2024 | |||

Well unless it actually happens we'll never know, it's not just knife crime but crime in general and antisocial behaviour a pandemic. With decision makers putting too much faith in technology and cameras over actual policing. It must be over ten years since I saw a police walking around our local neighbourhood and then they were neighbourhood wardens not actual police. | |||

"Not good it happened, yes there have to be more stop and search. I think that nowadays the police have to think twice of who they stop and search with all the red tape too." Good point Shag  | |||

It seems to be a national emergency now, especially in London and Birmingham. | |||
