Parents have a duty to ask their teenagers if they are carrying a knife the Metropolitan Police commissioner warns.

Urging families to help tackle the crisis in youth violence, Sir Ian Blair said a stop and search blitz across London had resulted in 200 extra arrests, with more than a hundred weapons seized.
