Knife crime offences in schools from August 2012 to August 2022

Freedom of information request reference no: 01.FOI.22.026103

I note you seek access to the following information:

I have already filed an FOI related to this, but have been advised to file the following instead.

I am now seeking year-on-year statistics, in calendar years, with regards to the following:

- The number of knife crime offenses (broken down by offense type, and including possession) in location as schools in London;
- And the number of violent offenses (including but not limited to that which knives are used) in location as schools in London.

I would like all of this presented for the last ten years to date. The figure for 2022 should be presented from 1 January 2022 to the time you perform the search.

I would also like to know what age the youngest person was for the offence of knife crime in schools in London.

Decision

I have today decided to disclose the located information to you in full.

Please find below information pursuant to your request above.
