Scotland's knife crime needs "sophisticated response":

Rank and file police officers are calling for a rethink on the way Scotland's blade culture is tackled.
The Scottish Police Federation (SPF) said a "more sophisticated response" was needed to deal with people who used knives as weapons.
The comments follow BBC Scotland's analysis of official crime figures, which suggests the knife crime debate should be refocused.
It also shows the proportion of murders caused by knives has remained static.

And while the law has been strengthened to prevent the carrying of knives in public, statistics show the vast majority of murders happen in the home, where police are not present.
Knife crime has become a major political issue in recent years, with Labour making a key Scottish election manifesto pledge to ensure those carrying blades will go to jail.
Yet official crime figures show consistently that the majority of Scotland's murders are not caused by knives.

The Liberal Democrats' manifesto says that if elected, they will tackle knife crime by cracking down on Scotland's gang culture.
The call for a fresh debate comes on the eve of a debate at the Scottish Police Federation annual conference involving the leaders of the four main political parties.
Calum Steele, SPF general secretary, said: "The motivation to carry a knife may be influenced by jailing all carriers, but the motivation to use a knife demands a more sophisticated response."
He points to figures analysed in the BBC Scotland study which reveal most murders are carried out in residential locations rather than on the street - consistently about two-thirds of all cases.

"It remains a stubborn truth that too many murders occur in areas where the police have little ability to patrol and influence behaviour, such as the family home," he said.
"As important as it is, a focus on knives in public will not address that."

Donc il faut interdire les couteaux dans le privé CQFD

Peut-être faut-il interdire le meurtre... Ah zut c'est déjà interdit.

C'est intéressant dans la mesure où, pour la première fois et officieusement, une instance reconnait donc que le couteau et son port ne sont pas, en eux-mêmes, les sources criminogènes.

La culture de gang est pointée du doigt, et la réalité statistique du délit perpétré hors de zones de contrôle policières est soulignée. Donc, hors voie publique.

Il s'agit très certainement du début de reconnaissance que l'objet ne fait pas le délit. C'est un énorme progrès pour les porteurs de couteau non criminels, en Grande-Bretagne.

Et cela recoupe ce que nous n'arrêtons pas de dire et de souligner sans cesse, sur le forum.

Le mindset caractérise le criminel, pas le kit.
