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...

It is the lack of a sense of belonging which supports offending lifestyles based upon the feeling of having nothing to lose by it. However the reverse is also true when a sense of investment in their communities is present, they are more able to avoid being drawn back into an offending lifestyle because of having something or someone positive and important to them that they would lose. It could be YOU!
