Closed Zero Tolerance on Knife Crime

Closed on

If any person is caught possessing an attack knife, or if any person is found to have used an attack knife to assault or threaten another person, they should receive life imprisonment.

Knife crime is completely out of control. There are more and more stabbings on our streets every week and it is being practically promoted on social media and in the music they listen to. Teenagers these days are going out with their friends all carrying knives. There is no reason for any teenager or any person to be carrying a knife to go and meet friends. If there is a complete zero tolerance policy it will help deter youngsters from carrying and commiting knife crime.
