Description: We currently have a huge problem in the UK with knife crime, both street-based violence, and, incidents within the domestic residential setting. One answer to this issue is not difficult, challenging, or complex. There is a simple solution, and we can all help to achieve this resolution. We can make a change, in the design of knives, from blades with pointed tips to rounded ends.
