Abstract

Knife crime has become a common phrase used by the media, but it is not always clear what it refers to or what they mean when they use the term. Knife crime can cover many offences, making it challenging to define and estimate its prevalence. This review aimed to evaluate potential knife crimes in the UK from 2011 to 2021 and analyse the causes and risk factors associated with the crimes. Six UK online news portals were purposefully chosen to be included in the study, and knife crime news was searched retrospectively. The term "knife crime" was used to search. The news portals were the: Metro, the Sun, the Guardian, Daily Mail, Daily Mirror and the Evening Standard. In the assigned news portals, 692 reports were found between January 2011 and December 2021. The study revealed that the 11-20 years of age group individuals are more vulnerable as victims, and males are more reported as victims when compared to females. About 61.8% of knife crimes are reported from South England. Knife crime risk is higher in early adulthood and among males. Street violence, fights/gang attacks, family issues and robbery are the leading causes of knife crime and have all been identified as risk factors that must be addressed with caution.

探究英国持刀犯罪及其相关因素:在线报纸的内容分析。

持刀犯罪已经成为媒体使用的一个常见短语，但人们并不总是清楚它指的是什么，或者他们使用这个词的时候是什么意思。持刀犯罪可以涵盖许多罪行，因此很难界定和估计其流行程度。本综述旨在评估2011年至2021年英国潜在的持刀犯罪，并分析与犯罪相关的原因和风险因素。有目的地选择了六家英国在线新闻门户网站作为研究对象，并对持刀犯罪新闻进行回顾性搜索。“持刀犯罪”一词被用于搜查。新闻门户是:《地铁报》、《太阳报》、《卫报》、《每日邮报》、《每日镜报》和《旗帜晚报》。在指定的新闻门户中，2011年1月至2021年12月共发现692篇报道。研究表明，11-20岁年龄组的个体更容易成为受害者，与女性相比，男性更容易成为受害者。据报道，大约61.8%的持刀犯罪发生在英格兰南部。持刀犯罪的风险在成年早期和男性中更高。街头暴力、打斗/帮派袭击、家庭问题和抢劫是持刀犯罪的主要原因，这些都被确定为必须谨慎处理的风险因素。
