Knife Crime Capital?

This week has been of the worst weeks in recent history for Knife Crime in London, and to be honest the rest of the country, with a taxi driver being robbed at knife point in Northamptonshire on Thursday and two other knife attacks in North and East London on Thursday night. The most recent of these was during the Friday rush hour on Westminster Bridge.

And only in the early ours of today 3 people where injured outside a pub in Greenwich as a gunman shot randomly. On Friday in Hackney 3 other people where injured after being shot at, the event was at about ten to ten, two 17 year olds, and one 18 year old where taken to hospital with non life threatening injuries. As a resident a of the capital, I find that (youth) crime is a thing that is that is highlighted a lot and adds to the stereotype of certain areas and people in the capital, and personally it has added to what I think about people. It happens with everyone that people are stereotyped into groups; be that by age groups, racial groups, or just on where they live.

Crime rates are said to be going the right way by the Met, yet the evidence of the last couple of days haven't shown that, and this is the perfect however not best time to add this as a comment, it always happens with many people obsessed with figures throughout anything directly linked with the government always say. To any normal, common sensed person you would think about the here and now, not how this adds ups and increases or decreases percentages year-by-year.

And Overall the chain of crime goes from knifes up to guns and more extreme measures, London soon could become like a British Los Angeles or North Philadelphia.
