 Knife Crime
 The internet has been a massive influence in the rise in
knife crime in the UK. There are numerous Internet sites
that sell dangerous knives, in the same way Amazon
sells books or Tescos sells food. These weapons can be
ordered with ease and sent to any address. Some youths
use the internet to glamorize knife crime by
pictures/videos of them with knifes and other harmful
objects, these pictures can then be seen by millions of
young children on internet sites such as facebook and
they can be lured into this culture on knife crime.

at Manchester Crown Court alongside co-defendants Abbas Iqbal, 24,
and Ilyas Iqbal, 23, of Percival Street.Ahmad, a white man formerly
known as Paul Cryer, was arrested last summer after the court was told
his friend Abbas had been caught carrying terrorism-related material at
Manchester Airport on August 14.
Police confiscated video clips said to show the trio brandishing and firing
guns in the garden of a house in Percival Street.There they also
