    • Glasgow made fabulous effort to reduce knife crime - and its worked. I myself was at one of many brilliant talks by one of several young men who'd been heavily involved in knife violence and through working with the police (after several visits to A&E with terrible injuries) he was convinced not only to turn his own life around but help others too. His back story was horrific and painfully sad. Prison isn't always, if ever, the answer. It's societal and political. Pointing and laughing though, is childish and never the answer.

  • In 1953 the government introduced the Prevention of Crime Act because of the rapidly growing number of knife crimes. Mass immigration wasn't in full swing and the people coming from Africa/The Caribbean were generally church going. To suggest a cultural element to a propensity to use knives is insane. Better indicators are poverty, poor education and undiagnosed learning difficulties.

The poorer communities are more likely to end up with gang culture, regardless of what skin colour they are. Outside of London and a few other big cities, the population is still predominantly white. The knife crime in these areas is still related to gang culture. Why is it that a black person with a knife in a gang in London is because of black culture, but a white person with a knife in a gang isn't white culture? You see what I'm saying?

Following Thatchers destruction of British industry, Teeside like much of the North East has a high incidence of poverty. Poverty is the main cause of crime and violence not race, religion or country of birth. It really isn't rocket science Kevin.

Nationally, blacks in Britain disproportionately commit more of the violence than whites do. That’s the observation he made. Which is true. The fundamental issue which is present in both black and white communities are bad cultural values which are amplified by poverty.

A very white majority pass time. Furthermore knife crime is a UK centric issue as unlike America and others gun crime; knife crime is not a detachment of cause like guns, but close, and personal attacks. Just because news movies and entertainment tells you something over and over or shows you without saying over and over does not make it true. Life experience is what you and your mates think, or what you are shown on those shows!

  • It’s nothing to do with race and everything to do with poverty. People turn to other ways of making money for themselves when they are at or below the poverty line, and if you live in underfunded and underrepresented communities you will obviously care less for the law of the land as you don’t feel like it benefits you in any way. Poverty leads to crime, not race or ethnicity

  • People really are naive! What the caller said are absolute facts!! It's also a culture thing that there's so much black on black crime. People really hate the truth
