We must have stop and search to get knives off the street. However we need other solutions as well like tackling gang culture in music and social media. Then we need to tackle domestic issues in the households, issues in schools, and employment.

[@NatashaONeil-ww5rn]

Yes. Stop and search. Needs to happen

[@scratchy1704]

Yes,more stop and search is necessary.

I'm surprised more ppl aren't vocal on this issue 6 comments..

[@lengting]

Probably just recently unprivated the comments

[@southerner6852]

Black guy proudly from UK living in Spain, I agree but stop and search should happen mixed in with improving society personally. That murder of that young girl in Croydon really hurt to hear. Wish people didn't act that this was simple I guess.

What is so hard about upping the amount of time you spend in jail if you are caught with a knife I think five years minimum straight away, no court straight to jail

[@LDNballer]

Already proven that tougher sentences have no impact.

[@dannyflint5746]

No court?

[@bernardw5154]

Wow you're seriously suggesting prison sentences without a trial? Crazy.

[@femmebridal6710]

Stop and search is pointless-unfortunately, because if someone is catched , they will simply get another and another knife.

The moment you have significnat numbers of blacks in your debate, you suddenly have no debate.
