It seems incredible that so far in 2008 14 London teenagers have been killed, 11 of them through knife stabbings. During 2007, 26 teenagers were murdered in the city.
We see these stories so often in the press now that I think people just get used to hearing them and are no longer shocked by them. Does anyone care?
Well... I do.
There is something definitely wrong with our society when children feel the need to carry knives. Why is this happening? This needs to be addressed.
We also need to make sure that existing laws are properly enforced as effectively as possible. Police may, in addition, need to be given greater discretion over using stop-and-search powers.
Lets stamp these knife crimes out now before it gets completely out of control.
