Why is there so much knife crime?

What are you trying to say? That he deserved what he got? No he didn't. It was an unequal consequence for a premature action. It didn't harm the gang member in particular he just decided to defend "his honor".

No I'm just saying in general, what's your opinion on this culture? And why do you think someone would want to get involved in it?

Its not a culture. It happens all the time in social media. When you rebuff a comment or remark made by someone. Its what the offended did afterwards. Took a life. Mind you this person was in set 7 for all his subjects, got U's in his mocks in year 10. I think it was jealousy too. But then my cousin is quite blunt he would have at most told him to his face that he was stupid or something. Either way that you could expect a beat up. Not an actual death.

This.

Recently there's been a huge surge in knife crime, particularly in London but also in other UK cities. I feel that one of the reasons is the budget cuts to the police, funding has dropped by nearly 25% in the past few years. The police themselves say that they no longer have the time for pro-active patrolling, and instead only have time to attend 999 calls (which they're struggling to do as it is).

Also, there's been some concern over misuse of stop and search, although to be honest, people have been too harsh on the police in this respect. A lot of people jump on the bandwagon and label legitimate stop and searches as racist etc. Police officers I know, have therefore said that they don't do many stop and searches anymore (a few police officers don't do them at all anymore!) as they feel like the government and police leaders are pandering to anger from a minority, and therefore discouraging police officers from doing stop and searches. In fact, Theresa May threatened to remove stop and search powers completely, some time ago - it's just political. People therefore feel that they can carry knives without being caught, much like using mobile phones while driving.

Integration causes a LOT of knife crime. If you look at the West Midlands Police Facebook page any crime to do with knives the perpetrator is black in most cases but then again thats a general thing across all crimes.

Successful integration reduces knife (and general) crimes, ackshually

If we did not allow riffraff in then we would not have to put up with it,just have a look at the WMP on facebook every knife crime in the last month bar one to what i have seen has been done by a black.

OK, but that's not related to your original claim. You seem to be champing at the bit to inject your political agenda into the discussion.

Find a story about knife crime in the UK on the internet , i can guarantee you with a 70% chance the article you click on the police are looking for a black man hence why i said them trying and failing to be integrated into British society means that they need to stab or shoot innocent people for their own personal achievement, they are lawless they need to settle things outside the law such as police, court .etc they do not understand our country and a lot of the times it is drug related, nothing new emerging here...

This is pretty racist. Thanks for generalizing my community.

if you look at national statistics it is accurate.

Stop and searches are pointless, educating the youth and keeping them out of this "gang life" is what is needed. You take their knife but they still hold the same mentality

This isn't true.
