285 people were stabbed to death in the last year - the highest level ever and significantly higher than the year before. Both the killers and those killed are most likely to be young people. The NHS have seen a 50% increase in teenage stabbings with over 1,000 teenagers entering A&E with stab wounds last year. Across England and Wales there were over 100 stabbings a day.

A new analysis of NHS data suggests there has been a 93 per cent rise in the number of children being treated for knife wounds over five years.
