What is this useless comment? It’s easy to look up the numbers.

There are proportionally the same stabbing sin Uk and USA.

That is not what your source says:

> Stabbing deaths and injuries are more common in Europe than they are in the Americas. Particularly in northern Europe, where levels of knife crimes among young people have increased and made headlines.

It also has virtually no numbers other than percentages of deaths compared to other means, which isn't terribly helpful since overall homicide rates aren't compared, and that knife stabbings often do not actually result in death.


What could explain this sudden rise?

What changed among young people?


Whether talking about gun crime or knife crime, socioeconomic factors are the main driver. Stuff like not having job opportunities, being raised in an environment where violence is ok, etc.
