A step in the right direction would be to impose realistic prison sentences for such crimes and to ensure they are fully served. How we have allowed a situation to develop where prisoners serve, at most, half of their sentences, and very ofter much less, is one of life's great mysteries.

Knife Crimes are in the news at the moment purely because of the amnesty. It's an area that the media can highlight one week and dispose of the next. Not that I think this necesarily a bad idea. I think that we're right to highlight what is a dangerous sub-culture, and a law that is confusing as to punishment for carrying a knife. I cannot for the life of me think of a reason why someone could resonably be carrying a knife on the street (barring utility tools such as the Swiss Army). Would a fixed prison term help?
