stabbings in the UK have gotten more and more violent and most of the victims are mostly young people. Its devastating to know that someone just like you, just your age, somewhere in the UK has actually lost their life while you stood there maybe picking what clothes you want to wear or which groceries you want to buy, and that they will never do any of those things themselves ever because some one carried a knife. I say think about others before you carry a knife, do you never want to see your family and friends again because you carried a knife?
The full extent of stabbings and robberies at knifepoint is made clear in the country's first census of knife crime.
Police recorded 5,023 serious knife crimes in England and Wales in the first three months after they began to count the offences as a separate crime category last spring. It is equivalent to about 400 offences per week.
The highest rate is in London, where every resident has a one-in-1,100 chance of falling victim over the course of a year.
Londoners stand more chance of being stabbed or robbed at knifepoint than of being killed or seriously injured in a road accident....And its this statistic that scares me the most!!
Please help to end these horrible crimes!!!
