Didnt read the post did you: "If you look at the figures for the last 10 years the number of knife victims has remained relatively stable" what has changed is the age of the victims... younger people as opposed to older people in the past.
Also the murder rate has been in decline over that period
2000 - 1.7 per 100,000
2009 - 1.1 per 100,000
no need to be abusive,
the murder rate if you are correct has declined per 100,000 people, but the murder figures have doubled, you said it hadnt, massage it all you like, more people would be alive if we were still at 56 million
