Introduction
In London, the knife crimes are increasing from the last five years, and the main
people who are including into this report are bascially the young people who are belongs to
the 10-25 years old. In order to find various reason and their impact behind the knife crime
have been discussed in this study. In UK, different polciies are formed to make and work on
policing by consent in different ways. It will be helpful for approach is being implimented
and work on the differnet problematic changes. This research proposal includes the aim and
objectives, substantive literature review, Research methodology and timeline for this project.
Research question, rationale, aims and objectives
Research Aim
“To identify the impact of knife crime among the black youth within the society.” A study on
England.”
Research Objectives
 To analyze the reason of knife crime among the black youth within the society of
England.
 To examine the impact, it will have on the black youth the society.
 Lastly to determine the interventions bring by the government to minimize knife
crime among the black youth within the society of England.
Research Questions
There has been an increase in Knife crime in the UK. An examination of the impact of
knife crime among Black Youth and government intervention.
Research Rationale
This choice of topic is important because it will help understand the complexity of this
crime among the black youth and why they get themselves involved in such that can cause so
much harm to society. This is the topic which is beneficial for the society and work to
manage the data in significant manner (Ajayi and et.al., 2021). One of the basic reason to
adopt the nature of this study is to provide a better function and crime free society in London.
It is very popular in the black youth and its impact are associated to increasing knife crime
and its society with England. That would be helpful for generating sources to work and make
effective growth to provide systematic approaches into the segment and provide enhancing
opportunities to analyse the order and work effectively into the market.

Background and context
Substantive Literature review
As per the view of Skarlatidou (2021), In London, the majority of people have been
victims of knife-related crimes, and trust in police officers and perceptions have been
compared. The major causes of stabbings in the black community that cannot be understood
from different intellectual property rights and will be associated with the majority of black
people in London. They begin working to achieve in schools and are primarily focused on the
significant gang-related issues in major areas. Knife crime has evolved into a drug-related
problem, and it is primarily associated with majority gaps caused by austerity. The primary
goal of this topic is to analyse and comprehend higher harm crimes in various ways. This will
be linked to a decline in trust between London's citizens and police. This research aids in
determining the level of risk that has been considered ethically, financially, deprivation, and
socio-economics growth for lower educational concepts (Boud and et.al., 2021). This
research provides an insight into young people's experiences, knowledge, and concepts
related to knife crime and related policing approaches in London. This research focuses on
the disorder and mental models that achieve police experts. A structure approach is beneficial
for people's risk and perception, worries, and needs to manage, particularly regarding policy
fairness and making effective solutions for knife crime issues in various ways. All of this is
related to shrinking the function size and achieving the major perspective to work as knife
crime characteristics and turning the major phase in analysing the technique and achieving
different perspectives and growth in completing major challenges. This appears to be very
important to highlight the challenge and raise awareness about knife crime activities in
relation to various targets and initiatives that are unaware of their existence in society
(Understanding Knife Crime and Trust in Police with Young People in East London, 2021).
As per the view of Khan (2021), there are various strategies associated with knife
crime with various injuries to make a compressive immediate action to work over the threat
and make safety purpose by the knife crime in London. Since 2008, there has been an
increase in knife crime across the country. The London police department considers crime
and takes various actions related to oversight, convening, and developing a multi-agency
partnership approach in various ways (Mosechkin, 2021). Some of the most significant
actions taken by the London police are related to identifying and punishing lawbreakers.
Offering various ways out of crime and attempting to keep a lethal weapon for generating off
to the streets. The police take all of these measures to eliminate or lessen the impact of knife

crime. These strategies are beneficial to the society's growth and perspective, and they
achieve various diversion schemes for gang enforcement in vulnerable people facing major
challenges and from the perspective of schools. MOPAC, which derives the meaning of
metropolitan police on behalf of London police and holds them accountable, is one of the
most important programmes that the London police started. This is one of the most efficient
ways to work and make a budget. MOPAC makes an effort to work with and manage the
positive growth in data in order to complete the task from a different perspective. It will be
beneficial in terms of preserving a specific point of view that is used to work and assisting the
individual in achieving transparency and effective data monitoring (The London Knife Crime
Strategy, 2021).
Labelling Theory
This topic is important to the researcher as a health and social care student because, if
an individual accepts this negative crime in our society, they are more likely to continue
engaging in the behaviour that the label was intended to control in the first place. This
researcher choose labelling theory for completion because it is related to criminology and
states that people come to identify and behave in ways that reflect how others label them
(Paterson, 2021). This theory mainly refers to the social behaviour of the state and analysed
the human nature to work effectively into the market. This theory is useful in describing
someone as a criminal, which may cause the person to become negative and act out for the
individual's personal growth. The researcher use the labelling theory to provide a significant
growth and accomplish the major challenges to work effectively into the market and make
sure for challenging growth to modern in systematic growth for publishing in systematic
order and achieve public management practices into the market.
Methodology
To carry out this research, the researcher is considering using secondary research
methodology, which entails the study of summaries and the collation of any type of existing
research related to the chosen topic. In addition, in order to conduct secondary research, the
researcher will employ both qualitative and quantitative philosophies. The interpretivism
philosophy will be used by the researcher in the qualitative research because it is based on the
principles of performing specific roles in order to observe the social world (Skarlatidou and
et.al., 2021). In contrast, positivism philosophies are preferred by researchers for quantitative
research because they aid in the collection of data that contains factual knowledge and

specific observations. This study conduct on the basis of substantive Literature review
method for explain effective strategies and methods to achieve objectives. Secondary data is
gathered through the use of the internet, news, articles, and meta-analysis. For effective
secondary data collection, the researcher chose the internet. It is a study that may leads to an
approach that is based on interdependence. To determine the causality, it is necessary to work
on and manage the systematic growth of the data in order to analyse it in various ways that
may be detected. It is one of the most effective and conclusive studies because it allows the
researcher to investigate the cause and effect relationship when dealing with two different
variables (Williams and Squires, 2021). The main reason for selecting this function is that it
helps in working with different concepts when using qualitative research methods.
Completion Plan
In order to complete this project, researcher use the Gantt chart which is helpful for
managing and organising the demand to complete effective process in significant manner.
This method is helpful for completing all the activities on time and as per the decided
targeted dates. Which is beneficial for the researcher to work effectively in appropriate time
period. Gantt chart provide the significant directions and process to accomplish the major
challenges which are prevailed within the research (Williams and Squires, 2021).

Conclusion
From the above report, it is concluded that the researcher find about the impact of
increasing knife crime in London. It further analysed that the main reason for increasing knife
crime into the market is basically helpful for determine the society and get a major impact on

the youth of the society. It is detrmined that different policies are used by the government for
minimising the imapct on knife crime within the society of England.
