According to Citizens-Report UK, between 2010-11 and 2011-12, 21 out of 32 London boroughs witnessed an increase in knife crimes -- continuing a four-year upward trend. In some parts of the city, the number of such incidents spiked by more than 20 percent in just one year.

On the whole, London reported more than 14,000 knifings last year, while according to Parliament, England and Wales recorded almost 30,000 knife offenses.
