History

Historical Context

In 2019 the UK Home Office rolled out a £100 million anti-knife programme, later reinforced by Knife Crime Prevention Orders. After a 2020 peak of 55,170 knife-enabled offences, police recorded 51,527 offences in 2025—a 5% drop—and NHS admissions fell 10% to 3,462. The September 20 2026 triple stabbing outside Liverpool’s G-Bar mirrors the urban trend noted in those figures.
