Help to get knives off the streets
It is vital that the government change laws on knife crime as it can be the reasons for not only things like robbery's, assaults but also death. The campaign #knifefree has shown real life stories, one of them being Ben's story, where he began carrying a knife for protection.
-Increasing since 2014 by 10,000 offences
-214 people have been killed by a blade in England and Wales
-Average age for knife crime is 15
-Knives are the most common weapon used in England as there's not as many laws preventing use
