Case in point being 2, 12 year olds under arrest for murdering a 19 year old in Wolverhampton.'Knife arches' have seen some use here for a while. I'm not certain of their effectiveness though. The story that this pic came from reported on its use one lunchtime in Nottingham. Result: no knives discovered, two were found with drugs on them.
A great many of the stabbings - and indeed a lot of the violent crime is carried out in the early hours. It's usual to see a time stamp of around 3.30am or similar. Usually in very public places too - perhaps the Edinburgh equivalent would be Princes Street or George Street etc. It feels like there is a different and separate society that enters the city at those times, lots of gangs, engineering meet-up with other ones. There also appears to be a recent trend of very young people using knifes - children basically, aged 12yrs and up. Lots of blades being hidden in shrubberies and the like in case of being searched, then returning to collect them.
