Crime and Justice
Recently threre have been a lot of articles in British newspapers about knife crime. The media interest follows an unusually high number of fatal stabbings involving teenagers, particularly in London, whre in 2008 more than twenty teenagers have been killed by other young people in knife attacks. In some casesthe victims were involved in disutes between gangs, but in others it seems they were just in the wrong place at the wrong time, being stabbed during argumets that broke out spontaneously on the street. In a recent BBC documentary programme, the headteacher of a secondary school in England said that the number of pupils caught with knives in his school has inceased greatly in recent years.Report:
Ms Kinsella’s report, Tackling knife crime together - a review of local anti-knife crime projects was published on 2 February 2011. The report makes a number of recommendations including:
anti-knife crime presentations for school children- more data sharing between police, schools and other agencies on local issues
- a best practice website for local organisations
- more work with young children to stop them getting involved in knife crime
