Rejected petition Stricter laws on Knife Crime to reduce the horrific deaths of young people.
216 deaths related to knife crime in London in 2016 alone with 9,000 reported incidents taking place in London this year.Not enough action has taken place to stop this.I believe tightening laws situated around knife crime could save lives making it harder for young people to gain
access to Knives.
