Sceptical of knife epidemic 8:52pm on 07 Jul 2008 So far your attempts at 'number crunching' have been laughably innumerate. Both in your original piece and your effort on poverty in the UK where you managed to interpret the evidence in precisely the opposite way to that to which the evidence pointed. You use euphemisms like 'urban' and 'gang' to disguise the fact that these murders are overwhelmingly black both in terms of victims and offenders, something you must be purposely disregarding and therefore distorting the whole context of this problem. You might be a bit less sanguine if like me you had a 17 year old son going to school in south London. As for the Guardianista 'moral panic' , aren't you giving your politics away here? How about a piece on the 'moral panic' about AIDS among heterosexual Britons in the UK or racism in the public services
