This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Tackling knife crime in particular localities is a matter for the local police force and local authority, not the UK Government or Parliament.

You could raise the issue of knife crime in your area with a local MP or councillor who represents you.

You can find contact details for your local MP here: members.parliament.uk/FindYourMP

You can find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them, by entering your post code here: www.gov.uk/find-your-local-councillors
