Rejected petition Reduce knife crime. youth clubs, mentors in schools & for those with low income

knife crime has raised in the last year rapidly. I feel as a parent this is very disturbing, the age of these young people are getting younger and I'm worried for the youth. If the youth get more positive role models and support in schools and the local community this will help guide young people.

More details

The police have now got more power to stop and search... but I feel society needs to help and support these young people to help prevent them from carrying knives in the first instance.
