Social media blamed for knife crime rise

News Correspondent

Britain’s top police officer has blamed social media for helping to fuel knife crime, especially among teenagers.

13 people were knifed to death in London in just two weeks this month – with fatal stabbings across England and Wales at their highest level for seven years. The Met commissoner Cressida Dick said drug dealing and absent fathers were also a challenge.
