Record number of knives taken off streets as knife murders plummet by almost 20%

• Almost 60,000 knives seized or surrendered under this government, protecting young lives and making our streets safe.
• Figures come as knife homicides down by 18% in a year.
• Knife seizures and surrender schemes introduced as part of the government’s mission to half knife crime within a decade, and the Plan for Change.

All of you working in the sector of child and youth empowerment and the NHS can take some credit here as well. There is so much more we must all do. It really does save lives. Find out more: https://lnkd.in/eHDhuCMn Home Office

This is great news overall, but in London improvements still lag behind all but one other regions. We know there are multiple reasons for this but we do still need to redouble our efforts. Some real analysis to explain this is still required. The West Midlands has acheived a 30% reduction but London only 5%. That’s a big difference. The figures in London for reduced homicides of young people is more encouraging , but one death is still too many.The Ben Kinsella Trust London's Violence Reduction Unit London Youth Home Office

Some better news - a 20% decrease in hospitalisation for knife assault! Together, we must keep up work across the sector on prevention, and support our NHS. The latest data for 2024/25 shows knife admissions have fallen again, and particularly amongst children and young people.

• 409 children aged 0-17 were hospitalised for knife assault between April 2024 and March 2025, down from 509 the year before – a 20% decrease.

• Overall, hospitalisations due to knife assault fell 9%.
