I am writing this petition to raise awareness and call for immediate action to address the alarming rise in knife crime that is devastating our communities. This issue has deeply impacted many communities,families and friends of those who have lost their loved ones due to this senseless violence.

Knife crime has become an epidemic, with too many lives being tragically cut short by individuals seeking validation or a false sense of power by carrying a knife.Families are being left shattered.
