What the petition asks

Change the knife culture in this country, the government need to be more forceful and give the Police more powers. Their are too many people getting injured and killed, with families having to bury their children, mums, dads, brothers and sisters.

Because the approach to knife crime so far has not worked and knife crime is getting worse with adults and children alike carrying and using knives.
This must stop as soon as possible
