Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many and what proportion street-based knife crime incidents (a) were and (b) were not the result of gang activity in each of the last five years.
This question was answered on 5th July 2023
The Home Office does not routinely collect information on whether offences involving knives or sharp instruments occurred on the street, or if they were related to gang activity.
Violent crime as measured by the Crime Survey for England and Wales has fallen by 41% between the year ending March 2010 and the year ending December 2022.
