UK's violent crime continues unabated

More news of the violent crime situation in the United Kingdom:
The true scale of violent knife crime in Britain is revealed today - with one in five youngsters claiming they or their pals have been threatened in the past year.

An explosion of gangs is fuelling the blades epidemic, says a shock report.

And police figures to be released this morning are expected to show 25,000 stabbings were committed in England and Wales in the last 12 months.

It is the first time the Government has given the go-ahead for such statistics - which will add to the public's fears.

The year's crime figures are also expected to show a total of around one million violent offences including murder, rape and robbery.

Maybe they should just ban violent crime?
