Introduce harsher sentences for knife crime!

There is a notable increase in knife crime, and it is a growing concern among many sections of the public. There should be much more harsher sentences introduced and perhaps no parole for more serious cases in order to act as a deterrent.

I urge the government to review their laws around knife attacks/crime. There should be more and harsher laws introduced to act as a deterrent. I also would request that schools should include in their curriculum information about violent crime and the punishments that offenders can and have received in the past so that any potential offenders are well informed.
