Create a dedicated Minister for Knife Crime Prevention
Having a dedicated minister specifically assigned to prevent knife crime would demonstrate that the Government recognises the severity of the issue and is committed to tackling it. It would send a strong message that knife crime is a priority and requires targeted efforts.
A dedicated Minister for Knife Crime Prevention could:
- work across government departments, with law enforcement, community groups and educational institutions, to ensure that there is a coordinated approach to tackling knife crime.
- develop strategic plans and policies to prevent knife crime and address its root causes.
- help raise public awareness of knife crime and promote community engagement.
- create greater accountability for addressing knife crime, as a single minister would be responsible for delivering on this issue.
- collaborate with administrations in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to share information, knowledge and best practice, to develop more effective strategies to combat knife crime.
