So I have a question...

What happens when you prosecute heavier for knife crime? Does this do anything to eliminate the motive for most crime which is poverty and lack of jobs? What happens when people switch to sticks, clubs and baseball bats? Newer laws to regulate those items? Then people will just use rocks and fists.

Somehow, there has to be a better way. When people feel they have no options and want better, as is human nature, they will resort to crime. It doesn't matter whether they have a weapon or not, they can and will resort to violence if need be.

In the UK? Surely you jest... You can be sentenced to prison just for looking at a gun there.
