Petition Launch a national public awareness campaign about knife crime

The campaign should be focused on youth crime and gangs, showing how the consequences of knife crime ruins lives, both of the victim, their family, friends and the perpetrator.

More details

Knife crime has increased in recent years and we believe the only way to slow the growth is to send a clear a message.

There were 46,239 police recorded offences involving a knife or sharp instrument in England and Wales in the 12 months to September 2021.
