I WAS interested to see the pieces in the Oxford Mail (May 7 and June 6) on the campaign to tackle knife crime by Thames Valley Police, and the good idea of holding a knife awareness week.
But the photograph of the young boy who lost his dad to knife crime holds a poignant message to me about the high price to pay if you carry a knife – not only for you, but the family left behind who will have to pick up the pieces.
That is why I hope and pray that the message will get through to young people soon.
And that is why I am also trying to set up a knife crime project in my village at Kings Sutton.
