I don't know if you mean how to stop this crime from happening, or how to protect yourself during a knife attack.

Stopping crime with weapons

It is nearly impossible to outlaw the types of tools people use to hurt each other. For example, even if Legislatures and Courts outlawed the ownership of knives, there would always be another object that could become a "dangerous weapon". So the knife itself does not commit the crime-- violent people do.

Therefore, the only way to stop crimes by knives, guns, rocks, bombs, etc. is to raise children to have strong moral values, to live peacefully, to teach children non-violent ways to resolve conflict, etc. With strong moral and ethical character and compassion toward others, children become adults who seek to respect each other rather than to use violence.

Stopping a knife attack

There are differing views about how to handle an evolving crime, or, a crime in progress. Some people say to fight; other people say to be placid and not fight. About the only things authorities agree upon are these:

  1. Know your surroundings and be watchful; avoid getting into situations that encourage crime.
  2. Avoid being taken from one location to another location, because if a criminal can get a victim to a second location then there are higher chances of being killed.
  3. Do whatever it takes to stay alive. If you stay alive, you've done well.
  4. Fighting back can get you killed -- and -- not fighting back can get you killed. Each "victim" must rely on instincts and their best thinking at the time.
  5. Self-defense classes can teach some basic skills to gain an upper hand during a physical crime.

Does unprovoked flight plus high-crime area equals reasonable suspicion?

Unprovoked flight in itself is not enough to establish reasonable suspicion, but when coupled with being in a high-crime area, it may contribute to forming a reasonable suspicion for a stop or questioning by law enforcement. Other factors would also be considered in determining whether reasonable suspicion exists.


Can a cop pull you over on foot without a police car?

A police officer should only pull you over when he or she has probable cause to do so: you'd need to be doing something illegal or dangerous, like weaving or going over the speed limit. Therefore, no. A police officer can't pull you over for no reason.


Ways to stop crime?

Firstly, crime I everywhere, in big cities such as London and Glasgow, but can also be in suburban neighbourhoods, such as yours or mine. Some of these crimes include serious ones like rape, murder or tax evasion, and smaller one like theft or drunk and un-orderly conduct. There are multiple ways of stopping crimes, and here are some of them: Make use of CCTV cameras on suspicious locations and make streetlights lighter in dark areas. Advertise crime as bad to the younger generation using McGruff the crime dog- they are the future. Keep valuables out of prying eyes and in a safe place. Join together as a community and look out for each other using neighbourhood watch schemes. Build a "relationship" with the local police force to use them in extreme circumstances.

What has brought about knife crime?

It has soared by 35 per cent in some parts of Britain. Mix drugs with knifes as the main ingredient and you have the complete 'violent cocktail'. There is little connection between the use of stop and search powers by the Metropolitan police and reductions in knife crime. Knife crime affects everyone, no matter who you are.
