Map of knife crime statistics across England + Wales
























'Blade Britain' - map of knife crimes in police force counties and areas across the UK; recorded blade crime statistics / figures (from the Daily Mail online).


Interesting to see that Sussex - a county that police claimed did not have a knife problem - records a total of 274 such crimes over a year. Bear in mind, I appeared on BBC radio this month to highlight that knives were being carried in Sussex. As well as reports I've had to my blog, these figures are also evidence that I was correct.

  1. this is a good site, but is it possible to obtain a break down of the knife crime in the main areas such as London or greater Manchester, possibly a contour map to show the correspondance with knife crime and poverty? thanks!

  4. Censorship is making knife crime worse, we are not able to say why knife crime had dramatically increased in our country for fear of being called 'racist'. So here it is : knife crime was brought into our country via immigration.
    For obvious reasons please keep me Anonymous

  5. 'Knife crime' includes some poor guy who gets arrested for having a pen knife that happens to lock, as well as some kid who brings back a neat little butterfly knife trinket from France. A map of homicides (The weapon used does not really matter) would be more useful.
