Knife crime requires a holistic approach that addresses its root causes and prioritizes prevention and rehabilitation over punishment.

Elba is calling for a change in the way the police handle cases of knife crime, and for greater transparency and accountability. He is also advocating for the support of victims of knife crime, as well as the implementation of programs that focus on prevention and rehabilitation rather than punishment. Elba believes that addressing the root causes of knife crime, such as poverty, lack of opportunities, and social inequality, is key to reducing the problem. He also emphasizes the importance of community-based initiatives and the need to engage with local communities to develop effective solutions.

A sharp point is not always necessary for a knife to be useful in the kitchen.
