STOP Knife Crime <itdoesnthavetohappen>
"It doesn't have to happen"


Too many young people have experienced the terrible effects of knife crime.

The injuries and deaths don’t have to happen but the fact is, if you carry a knife, you are more likely to get stabbed yourself.

This site is for people who want to take positive action against knives.

 

A big shout goes out to all of you who made a poster pledge against knife crime. You’re helping spread the word on our outdoor poster adverts all around the country.

Our talent competition with MTV is hotting up, over 100 photos and videos have already been sent in. If you've got a talent, show us what you're made of and you could win £1000–worth of prizes and get on MTV. Look out for trailers on MTV channels or go to http://showus.mtv.co.uk Check out our new vodcast of DJ Trevor Nelson, he gives us his thoughts on knives and what it was like growing up back in the day.

The more people you tell, the stronger we become. Together we can beat knife crime.

    Fiona Mactaggart by Fiona Mactaggart
    I urge all young people to say no to knives. I know that most young people who carry knives do it because they are scared and feel that they need to for their own protection, but that puts them at risk. The safest thing to do is to just say no to knives”

    My site is designed to help people who have lost someone close to them, if these people can see what loosing someone has on a person then maybe they will think twice before attacking someone!.

    STOP Knife Crime
    If you were kiled with the knife how would you feel Carrying a knife is not a game When we started in week one and asked the question 'what do you want to be when you grow up', we had a number of the kids saying 'I want to be a bad man'It's about inspiring them to achieve, getting into their minds, changing their mindsets so that it doesn't lead them into a life of crime."

    sum ppl r sayin that its organised gangs and not individuals that need targetted. ur rong. it aint just the gangs who go out carryin knives. individuals seem to be carryin them 4 their protection. this is wot we need to be targettin, the attitudes of these ppl and why they feel the need to carry them. if the minds of these ppl can be changed so they dont carry them, then the gangs may follow the actions of individuals who no longer pose a threat to them. just sumthing to think about....x
