Original Note:
ONS data states the Metropolitan Police recorded a rise of knife-enabled crime (22% from Sept 2022 - Sept 2023). It is incorrect to say that rates in the rest of the country are going down as other forces, such as West Midlands Police, also reported a rise. https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/crimeandjustice/bulletins/crimeinenglandandwales/yearendingseptember2023#knife-or-sharp-instrument-offences
