Make it unlawful to carry a knife in the public areas and public transport.
Considering the amount of knives that young people carry with them in public areas and transport, it is crucial that a law needs to be put in place which will require a massive fine payment, community service and other rehabilitation programs with immediate effect.
So many young people have the wrong understanding of safeguarding outside their homes. They need to be educated, offer them the right programs to help them understand the harm that they cause and it involves the victim, their selves, their families and the society.
They need a warning that their live will change completely if they engage in crime activity.
Moreover, it must be created a programme for schools related to knife crime which should take place various times during the school terms.
