'Why are we shocked at knife crime? It's rampant': Peter Bleksley on lawless Britain'
43:47|Every day, millions of us step onto trains, walk through busy town centres and trust that we’re safe. But that trust was shattered this past weekend when a man armed with a knife went on a violent rampage aboard a high-speed train bound for London.And not long after that horror unfolded, confidence in the justice system was shaken again after two prisoners were mistakenly released from HMP Wandsworth this week, part of a wider pattern of failures that’s seen record numbers of inmates let out in error. In today’s episode of The Daily T, we examine what the Huntingdon train attack tells us about knife crime in the UK, why assaults on public transport are rising, and whether our justice system is doing enough to protect us.Camilla is joined by former New Scotland Yard detective Peter Bleksley to discuss the truth about knife crime, the state of policing, the government’s crime strategy, and whether facial recognition, tougher sentences or more officers on the beat could restore public trust.Producer: Georgia CoanSenior Producer: John CadiganVideo Producer: Will WaltersStudio Operator: Meghan SearleExecutive Producer: Charlotte SeligmanSocial Producer: Nada AggourEditor: Camilla Tominey
