Introduction

In order to reduce knife related crimes in the UK it is now widely thought that educating those under eighteen years of age to the dangers and the implications of carrying knives and edged weapons is a must. It is important to know that approximately two-thirds of those who carry knives for personal protection have these items used against them. And the fact still remains that many who attend education in both inner city areas and even affluent towns are still carrying of bladed articles and this problem is not going away.

Please note: Not all of those who are victims of a knife related crime are members of urban street gangs. The larger percentage of those who sadly become victims of knife related crimes are in fact decent individuals going about their normal daily patterns of life.
