London is bnot bad for knife crime. The last year for which there are any statistics show:

Gun and knife enabled offences are uncommon. In London during 2004/05, only 2 percent of all recorded violent crime involved a gun and 5 percent involved a knife.

Long term crime trends between April 2003 and August 2005 show consistent levels of gun and knife enabled offending in London. Monthly fluctuations occur but bthe number of offences have not increased or decreased significantly over this period.

Violent offenses tend to be highly publisised giving the impression they are more common than they accually are.

London is NOT bad for knife attacks.

In fact, it's very good for them.

You just have to turn on the telly and, whoosh, someone else has been filleted in Camden, or Battersea or somewhere.

I blame the parents.

ollie shame on u man im bored post me a question

[shoehammer29]

the reasson for gun crime is simple, but not politically correct. What can be said however is that gun crime is on the increase and this is the responsbility of the government for not being tougher, but also the blame of the parents. It shows a lack of respect taught by the parents.It makes me laugh however that snoop cant come into this country because of criminal involment with guns etc but we allow peadophiles to walk free from court. Answer me this whos more likely to be commiting a crime? snoop or the peado?

I assume ollie doesnt live in London it is not bad for knife crime at all and if you see the recent publicity there are similarities to them all - you dont get randomly stabbed in London by strangers as a rule and dont forget you only know what you read and not all the facts
