Rejected petition Start an enquiry into the increasing knife crime and violent youth crime.

The U.K. has a problem, we have a severe increase in the number of knife crimes being committed, what’s more disturbing is they seem to be being committed by younger and younger people. We want an enquiry and tougher legislation to help stop this now.
