Knife crime is a growing and deeply concerning the entire communities.

I would like the government to tackle knife crime there’s not much been done about it and i fear the future as this is not what it used to be before. it’s getting worse and our youth are getting killed on the streets, it’s heartbreaking for families and the whole community.

Background

I want the government to help because we as a community don’t have much power over the youth unless the laws get tougher and something more strict is done about this matter. the government is in great power to de-influence these young kids as it’s getting out of control. We need to understand the reasons behind these which is fear, lack of opportunity, poverty . Youth centres should be introduced more and updated with new activities ,also speaking to each individual to find out their concerns
