Answer
The Home Office does not routinely collect information on whether offences involving knives or sharp instruments occurred on the street, or if they were related to gang activity.
Violent crime as measured by the Crime Survey for England and Wales has fallen by 41% between the year ending March 2010 and the year ending December 2022.
