Reduce underage knife crime by knuckling down on county lines and gangs.
Focus on how/where young people are getting involved in gangs, drug dealing, knife crime. Get down on it and lower the rates.
Knife crime has shown a significant growth over the past couple years. Children are killing children and county lines are becoming more significant now than ever. We need the government to focus down on these gangs and where these knifes and machetes are being bought from, Especially underage buyers. We need to knuckle down on these problems.
