Some statistics on knife crime for our website

2. • Picking up a knife or gun, always makes a
situation worse, never better.
• If you carry a knife or any other weapon - even if
you think it’s just for your protection – and you
never use it, having it with you makes you more
likely to use it, and heightens a situation.

3. • If you carry a knife you can
serve up to 4 years in prison.

4. • The law is clear and
unforgiving - you don't
have to have your hand
on the knife to be
convicted for murder. If
you are with the knife
man you too could be
found guilty of the
killing.

5. • The law places a heavy burden on young
people in groups. You need to ask yourself
constantly who is in a group, are they
carrying weapons and what might they do
with those weapons?
