Knife crime has risen in the last year, both across the country and dramatically so in London. Police cuts, austerity, reductions in stop-and-frisk, increased gang activity and even drill music have been pointed to as possible reasons for the rise.

Cressida Dick also suggested middle class drug users have "blood on their hands".
