This comprehensive textbook delves beyond the mere statistics of knife crime to unravel the intricate nature of this global phenomenon. However, its primary focus lies in exploring why the United Kingdom, in particular, has become deeply entrenched in this realm of interpersonal, often youthful, violence. The book embarks on a comprehensive exploration of knife crime, both in its global and historical context, examining various crime patterns, such as the "second wave" of knife crime in Britain. It then incorporates fresh empirical data to delve into critical themes such as police responses, popular narratives, and the diverse interests that thrive within the knife crime industry. By capturing the "voices" of those directly impacted by knife crime, including young individuals, community leaders, and youth work practitioners, the book offers a poignant insight into the human cost of this issue. Drawing upon a diverse range of disciplines, including criminology, sociology, cultural studies, and history, the book argues that the roots of the contemporary knife crime epidemic lie at the intersection of several concerns about class, race, gender, and generation, which are deeply ingrained in British history and its global past. The book's objective is to trace the various origins of this epidemic, ultimately proposing innovative and alternative strategies for addressing it. While aimed at undergraduate students and above in the social sciences, it also serves as a valuable resource for researchers, policy-makers, and practitioners seeking to understand and address this pressing concern.
