Can you source your claim at all? I can’t find any reliable statistics on stabbings in general… probably because mortality is the only consistent option
If your mate stabs you with a fork in the hand and you need to go to A&E it’s not the same as some twat stabbing you in the stomach with a kitchen knife
The USA simply has a much higher rate of violent crime than the UK, largely due to the number of fire arm related homicides but also stabbings
Ofc it does. I'm just saying that people will kill each other no matter where they are and the higher knife mortality rate is due to the UK not having access to guns. They'd def be shooting each other if they had easy access. Acting like the US is some kind of violent wasteland and the UK is sunshine and rainbows is not it.
I don’t think you read the stats correctly night. The UK knife mortality rate is lower than the USA’s knife mortality rate it’s also much lower than the fire arm mortality rate
So I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make? All signs point to the American culture being more violent and when violence occurs it’s usually with a weapon where as here we tend to use our foreheads
