Show Notes
In the UK knife crime has increased by 80 percent in the last ten years. Teenagers are more than twice as likely to be fatally stabbed than they were a decade ago.
Some 82 percent of murders involving teenagers are knife crimes, double the figure for murder victims of all ages.
Overall knife crime has risen 4 percent since Starmer's Labour government took power, although it remains below the peak it reached before the Covid pandemic.
