There has been a 60% increase in recorded knife carrying incidents in just 6 years! In London on average, there is a knife related crime every 52 mins.

Many criminologists now believe that people carrying a knife is a bigger threat than people carrying guns - this is based on a 60% increase in recorded incidents of knife carrying during the 6 years between 1999 - 2004

The persons most likely to be at risk from knife violence are; young, black or Asian males, living in high crime inner city areas, ...but as is all too evident from recent events, young or old, ordinary citizens, solicitors, police officers, etc., no one is exempt!

Hardly a week go's by without at least one high profile stabbing being reported in the press or on the national news.

In 2007, there were 27 teenagers stabbed to death in London alone...in the first 10 weeks of 2008 there were 9 fatal stabbings in London...

The numbers of first time entrants into the Criminal Justice System are increasing as a result of more and more serious offending.

The Five Boroughs Alliance (FBA)

The Five Boroughs Alliance (FBA) is a coalition set up by the London Boroughs in 2006 to develop long-term, effective solutions for dealing with complex young people and those involved in serious violence, including gang-related issues. The Alliance brings together the expertise of the Metropolitan Police Service, Councils, the Home Office, the Probation Service, local Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnerships and the Government Office for London to deliver schemes/plan of action that they cannot deliver alone.
