Knife crime

[Royal24s]

Well it mystifies me. It seems to be in certain areas too, but I still can't quite put my finger on it.
You know , I've sometimes thought there must be a common factor between people who do suicide attacks too, but again I can't think what it could be.

You are not thinking hard enough.
You must try harder.

If it wasn't for Trump occupying his attention, Kahn would be able to concentrate on knife crime in London.

Just been watching parts of a 'debate' about knife crime on the parliament channel (better than any mainstream option I could find over lunch).
The main 'contributors' were a group of assistant chief constables; superintendents in charge of something or other; violent crime officers, etc.
I watched around 40 minutes or so, and they proposed various radical ideas, such as 'understanding' this, and 'learning' from that, and all agreeing that 'prison isn't an answer'.
No suggestions of course as to what is the answer, nor was there any suggestion of any elephants in any rooms.
A sorry old state the public servants are in, mostly of their own making, but they couldn't come up with an answer to 2+2 anymore, for fear of upsetting other numbers.

What do you think the answer is, Roy?

What I think has been mentioned on here repeatedly over 12 years or so, - to a reception of ridicule and vilification from your mindset.
No point in going down that slippery slope (unless a genuine debate, minus the usual ad hominem could be had, which I definitely doubt is possible on here).
Much more interested to know if anyone on your 'side', which seems much closer to the establishment position above, has any thoughts as to why your 'answers' have not yielded any tangible improvements over the years.

Why would it be a slippery slope? Just say what's on your mind.
I'm keen to know.
