Half of the young people is victim or frightened by knife crime

According to Schock New Research, almost half of all young people were directly affected by knife crime.

More than 80 percent of the 16 to 24 year olds are also not convinced that the plans make it more difficult to buy zombie blades, and macets will reduce the crime.

Seven out of ten believe that the national approach to combat youth violence has failed in the past ten years.

The study was carried out by the Kiyan Prince Foundation, which was set up in memory of a murdered footballer in teenage.

The 15 -year -old Kiyan, who played for the youth team of Queens Park Rangers -was fatally stabbed on May 18, 2006 to break a fight outside of his school in North London.

But almost two decades later, the data of the charity organization indicated that little has changed.

As the standard reported in the past month, almost a third of the razor crime in England and Wales in London with an incident every 30 minutes, as the Office for National Statistics found.

Of 1,030 young people who were asked by the Kiyan Prince Foundation and Savanta, 83 percent are still concerned about youth violence in Great Britain.

Despite the legislation that aimed to make the purchase knife more difficult, they believed that young people would find alternative opportunities to buy them, while 46 percent were directly affected either as a victim or by knowledge of someone who is directly affected.

More than three quarters of the respondents say that the situation has deteriorated in the past five years.

Around 71 percent consider razor crime as a social problem and a criminal, while two thirds believe that there is too much value on violence itself and not on the causes.

They hope that the recent change in the government offers the opportunity to implement an approach to public health, more in local psychiatric services, sport, social clubs and employment opportunities.

Three unfinished letters, written in collaboration with the bereaved of tragic Kiyan, the emerging musician Jonathan McMurray (20) and Keelan Wong (22), who planned to start a business with his fiancee, underline the agony of her shattered dreams.

Kiyan, who is referred to by teammates “The Bullet” with the nickname “The Bullet”, is boasting that it was “exhausting, the top scorer wants to be” and “it my all when I step on the pitch”. But his heartbreaking letter stops: “This is a great club for which you can play and …”

Two completed letters from Kane Woodrow (22) and Kasper Johannessen, who are their lives of Dr. Prince's charity showed how young people “can lead the future they deserve” show how young people can be empowered. Both wore knives in Tottenham for protection and Mr. Johannessen was attacked three times from the age of 14.

At the beginning of the razor crime week, Dr. Prince: “It is clear that the current approach to reduce youth violence does not work.

“Young people in this country are faced with unprecedented challenges and we do not give you adequate support.

“Without a coherent approach to public health for this problem, it will not improve.

“The unfinished letters, including my son Kiyan, were published to show that every life that is lost by the crime of knives leaves an unfulfilled story, hopes and dreams.

“The finished letters are a message of hope to show that they are valued regardless of their circumstances and have a champion in them.

“It is never too late to choose the right way, we just have to give young people the tools and support to find it.”

The government has announced a number of measures to take in against knife crime, including the retailers who report the police in the amount of masses or suspicious sales, and increasing the prison sentence to two years for the sale of weapons to children or illegal sounds such as Zombie knives.

In a check published by the Home Office, which was published in February, the lowest price of online single dealers was found for a machet of more than £ 10 £ 7:13, with most of them between 20 and 40 GBP.

The report also examined the “gray market”, where sounds bought in large quantities and illegally resold on social media or face to face.

Further measures are confronted with a fine of up to 70,000 GBP every time a post in relation to knife crime is not removed from their locations.

A prohibition of Ninja swords will come into force until summer, which means that it will be illegal to have the weapon from August 1st.
