UK Knife Crime

I don’t know what’s going on at the moment, but all I ever seem to be hearing on the news is that someone has been stabbed and killed. 11 people since the beginning of the year! So many young lives are being taken away for no reason. I find it so sad, and terrifying at the same time. I don’t live in London I live in a small town where thankfully things like this don’t happen, however we do have a lot of groups of teens hanging around during the day and night outside shops being loud, rude and intimidating to shoppers, which I also don’t understand. I think back to a time when these things were unheard of and wonder to myself where has society gone wrong? So many people are saying... there should be more police out on patrol, yes I agree to a point, and unfortunately government cuts have stopped this, however on the other side, police can’t be everywhere. How do the police know where people are going to be stabbed these things just seem to be randomly happening. This violence needs to stop, let’s all live our lives without all this.
