If numbers of police have no bearing on crime perhaps we could get rid of them altogether.

 

It's been a problem since 1990's...and from 2011 to 2013 it reduced...Not enough resources with or without the 20,000 missing officers. You can't search every single person even if there was an extra 50,000 police officers. People will do bad things and always have done. You need to deal with the root cause of it to tackle the problem/s.

 

Adding more police will make you feel safer but won't stop knife crime.

So what do you attribute the rise in knife crime to then, if the cuts in police funding have no bearing on the matter? Pure coincidence that they coincide?

Social media, increase in drug use, also the type of knife user has changed, gone are the days where it was almost all gang related, now your average kid might be carrying one, but to say that the cuts in police has no bearing is insane.

You’re absolutely right.

 

It’s correct that other factors contribute to knife crime but saying reducing police has no impact is just daft.

 

For me local policing is what’s needed - not just responsive stuff - but proactive policing from local policemen/women based in a local police station. On the beat and amongst the community.

 

Which funnily enough we used to have before the police force was reduced and all the little cop shops got sold into the private sector.
