Knife Crime – New Prevention Orders
//New powers to control suspects thought to be carrying knives are being introduced by the government in a bid to cut rising violence. The orders would target anyone aged 12 or over suspected of being involved in knife crime - even if they have not been caught with a blade.
If a court is convinced the police's intelligence is probably right, it can impose sanctions including:
Curfews to keep the suspect off the streets and out of specific areas where gangs clash
Requirements to attend special knife awareness courses to change their thinking
Barring the suspect from using social media to encourage feuds
Banning them for up to two years from meeting other members of their gang//

Personally I believe no one under twelve should be out after dark without a responsible adult anyway. I would consider a curfew for all youngsters acceptable possibly with exceptions for organised sport and social activities where a pass system could be used.
It does sound like it will help, but the real way to stop knife crime is to educate children out of the need to carry knives in the first place.
Some current youth thinking is that carrying a knife garners 'respect'. but the problem is, in order to actually ensure that 'respect', you may be called upon to use that knife.
We need to educate young people in understanding what genuine respect actually means, and stop this empty posturing nonsense that leads to so many injuries and deaths.

TTT - // caught with a knife, 5 years, no remission, 2nd time 15years, 3rd time throw away the key, end of, next! //
I can entirely sympathise with your position, but I still believe thayt society as a whole benefits from educating bad behaviour out of its citizens, rather than simply punishing it when it's already there - that simply means that the bad behaviour perpetuates for ever, which doesn't help anyone.

"If I don't carry as knife I'd die in a couple of days. I didn't choose this life - this life chose me.
