The Spin

Right narrative

The UK is facing an unprecedented rise in deadly knife crime, particularly connected to youth gangs in cities where the police are understaffed. With over 40 knife-related incidents reported every day, it's virtually impossible for these overworked officers to provide adequate public safety measures. There needs to be more police to patrol neighborhoods, and they should be allowed to stop and search these youths who are terrorizing communities.

The Telegraph

Left narrative

While police are part of the solution, there also needs to be a change in culture led by children themselves. If children have access to safety programs in schools, they are less likely to end up in violent situations. Victims should also be given a platform to tell their stories, which would also help warn others not to engage in violent activities that will ruin their lives. A more holistic, community-based solution is needed for knife crimes like these.
