Government Anti-Knife Scheme is Deemed a Failure

Despite distributing a £3 million budget to the anti-knife scheme, with an objective of reducing the rates of knife crime in the worst cities, Home Office figures show that the number of knife-related incidents has actually risen.

The official number of deaths by knife stabbing has risen by around 7% in over 20-year-olds and remained unchanged in the number of teenagers involved.

The setbacks haven’t stopped a second phase being rolled out for the “tackling knives action programme”. The next step involves pushing the scheme out to an additional 16 areas and targetting a variety or violence crimes, including sources such as gang culture. The budget for the next phase is speculated to be set at £5 million.
