Underworld UK: Knife Crime: The Law of the Blade - Tapa blanda

Knife crime is sweeping Britain as the law of the blade rules on the streets and in the schools of our towns and cities. Many cases have gained notoriety - Ben Kinsella, the brother of an Eastenders actor killed for walking away from a fight he wasn't involved in - but many more hardly cause a stir, except to the victims, their families and friends whose lives are ruined forever. Now this book reveals the truth about the inexorable rise in knife crime and what - if anything - can be done to stop it.

Knife crime is sweeping Britain as the law of the blade rules on the streets and in the schools of our towns and cities. Many cases have gained notoriety - Ben Kinsella, the brother of an Eastenders actor, killed for walking away from a fight he wasn't involved in; Kiyan Prince, the aspiring QPR footballer cut down in his prime; Rob Knox, murdered while protecting his brother shortly after filming his role in the latest Harry Potter. Many more killings hardly cause a stir, except to the victims, their families and friends whose lives are ruined forever. John McShane gets behind the media hysteria and the often contradictory statistics to look at both the well-known and the less high-profile cases. He reveals the truth about the inexorable rise in knife crime and what - if anything - can be done to stop it.
