Subculture Parents don't know about and children hide from them. I went through it with my boys early years and would only find out with call from the Police to come and collect them, on which I would get lecture ... luckily nothing serious drunk and disorderly. Shocking to see video games the youngsters view these days with violence & killing scoring points bonuses just like Poker. The hide from Parents button on the Computer the lingo we don't understand not just parents fault Media in there too.

90% do a good job 5% reasonable job , the other 5% ?
Tbh I think 90% is a tad high, I would guess 65% good, 10% reasonable, 25% horrendous.
Alongside gang culture, drugs, single parenting, decimated policing, alleged racial profiling, the knife culture won’t go away until the police have more stop and search powers to anyone ,and education from previous gang members in schools to show youngsters how lives can be ruined, and it’s not big or clever to be walking around with a weapon.

An absolute tragedy.
However, blaming politicians, & expecting them to reduce knife crime, makes no sense. It's the parents that are the root cause, not politicians.
If parents have a child that takes a knife, sword or dagger to school with ill-intent, something has gone seriously wrong with the parenting.
100% agree with that, though as difficult as it must be, it's up to parents to influence what their children do.
