I find it alarming that most of the people who took the survey and knew someone who carried a knife were male. Most of the people who answered that they would carry a knife if the laws weren't there were male too, possibly giving the knife epidemic a stereotype that it is mostly young males.

It was disturbing to find out that most of the time people would carry a knife just for protection, young people feeling they are not safe on the street is not what this country should have to put up with and it needs to be put to a stop. Most of the candidates that had seen the films 'Adulthood' and 'Kidulthood' did feel an attraction to carrying a knife due to the glamourisation of a knife in the films.
