The media today seems to be full of stories concerning knife crime in young people, however i found an article arguing that maybe it isn't as common as it used to be.
The British Crime Survey claims that overall violent crime has decreased by 41% since 1995. Knives are used in 8% of these crimes and that figure has remained about the same for the last decade.
However, it is hard to determine whether these statistics can still be considered as they don't include under 16's.
Knife crime seems to be a huge problem in young people and young adults and it affects many under 16's with lots of victims and criminals being that of a young age.
