Re: Another stabbing
This figure hardly seems possible! How on earth has this managed to reach these proportions,with 256 deaths out of the total of 683 deaths actually involving a knife or sharp object?
"There were 46,265 offences in the 12 months to the end of March this year,
up 6% from the previous year."

Re: Another stabbing
I'm afraid that the police are loath to use stop and search for obvious reasons of 'accusations' these days.Once again, if there were a real deterrent to carrying knives and certainly using them, I feel there would be far fewer incidents of stabbings but, no, we live in such a nice easy-going country where criminals laugh at the police and the courts.
Will it ever change?

Probably only for the worse, JBR.

Re: Another stabbing
Have said it before, but anyone who carries a knife (even those who claim it's for self protection) has, if push comes to shove, a clear intent to use it. There are no excuses for carrying one.Anyone caught carrying one should be incarcerated for an automatic minimum of 5 years. They chose to do it, and they should be rewarded with the inexorable outcome that is attached to it.
It doesn't matter what colour, creed, age nor backgound anyone is, stop and search should be viewed as the norm and not a form of discrimination. This is what needs to be taught. Only then will the number of crimes decrease. Only then will those who claim they are carrying a knife for potential self protection be both less inclined to do so, not only for the automatic punishment that follows, but because they will also feel safer in the knowledge that a potential assailant will be less likely to carry and use a knife.
Any group that feels that they are being singled out disproportionately should be told to shut the eff up and to grow up.
