Studies have revaled that knife crime has risen from 25,00 to 65,00 in just 2 years meaning that there were 175 knife robberies in England and Wales in just one day. It is said that 10% of boys aged 11 and 12 carrie wepons, 8 % of then attack, hurt and even kill other youths. 24% of sixteen year olds carrie wepons and 16% of then usedf their deadly wepons. Youths carrie guns and knifes to either protect themselves or just to be cool.Knife crime has doubled in two years.Gun crime has unfortunatly risen up to 90%. Gun crime in London is increasing so much that police are scared not to cope anymore.
The fire arm units (police) deal with 20 up to 30 incidents a day.Their are many gangs in London, especially East London(22), North London(13), South and South west London(12). Rival gangs kill eachother, for many reasons(territory...).The metropolitain police are doing their best to end all of this, but they need our help. The mair of London has asked celebrities to talk to children and try to convince them to stop, bins are also painted with a knife drawn of it and it says "save a life, bin that knife".
