Incidents of stabbing have increased continuously
In the last few years, incidents of stabbing have increased continuously in Britain. According to government figures, more than 50,000 knife crimes were recorded in England and Wales last year, almost double the number in 2013.
According to the Home Ministry, so far around 60,000 knives have been seized or people have voluntarily handed them over to the police. The government has set a target of halving knife crime in the next ten years. If caught carrying a knife in a public place, the punishment can be up to four years. However, in the last one year there has been an 18 percent decline in murders involving knives.
