Knife crime has been on the rise, seems to have been a slight dip. But whilst people can go in home bargains and buy a kitchen knife with a point for £3 then it's going to carry on rising. Price correct as of 27th Dec when I last looked..

Price correct as of 27th Dec when I last looked.. From that page: Knife crime falls for second year, but long-term prevention remains vital New figures from the Office for National Statistics show that police-recorded offences involving a knife or sharp instrument in England and Wales fell by 9% in the year ending September 2025, with 50,430 offences recorded.
April 22Apr 22 He said over the last 10 years, which it has You've selected a quote about the last 2 years which doesn't account for the rise before hand.... Dickheads carrying knives, not giving a shit for what happens, psycho's, wannabe gangsters etc.. I know you like to be controversial and argue with hand picked facts, but when it's a subject which is close to home, then to try and belittle a very true statement makes you come across as a bit of a twit, I'm not entirely sure what point you are trying to prove here. Knife crimes increased over the last 10 years.. FACT.. that it's dipped recently irrelevant to the initial fact, unless it drops below the levels of 10 years ago..

April 22Apr 22 8 minutes ago, Lt. Aldo Raine said: That'll be useful if anyone ever claims there's been an increase in murder rate Your original claim was that there "seems to be far more absolute dangers walking around these days". Knife crime may have increased over the last 10 years, but the murder rate has fallen. And the "significant increase in knife crime" you referred to isn't very significant at all. It's no coincidence that the "feeling" that the streets are more dangerous has increased at the same rate as the number of cameras recording the streets. Edited April 22Apr 22 by Cheese
April 22Apr 22 I remember when folk said crime had fallen under the tories and the excuse was it’s because of lack of policing, now Labour are in its because the country is safe and something about cameras. 🙄
