This goes beyond police on the streets. How about youth services? Reducing child poverty? Providing education and training? You can just lock kids up. Early intervention has been proved to be more effective and cheaper

So stop and search powers being increased after *you* decreased them in the first place? Big U-turn on your policy there, and not a hint of an apology?

Don’t understand why he should apologise? It is not a U-turn but a necessary action this time. Not a fan of Sadiq’s politicking but we need him and Law enforcement to get on with their job.

I know it's not all about teenagers but programmes for schools need to be considered @educationgovuk with suitable content across age ranges to help prevent this, in PSHE & Citizenship lessons, it's so important to try & tackle it early, also working on confidence/self-esteem etc

There are reasons. My Swiss Army Knife in scope, eh? Box cutter? Stanley Knife? Bread knife when on a picnic? What chance innocent people will get collared for “knife crime” to keep then numbers up?

What kind of knives?

Lol what a time to be alive.
