How can we tackle knife crime?

Take the police away from mannign mobile speed cameras or knocking on the doors of the politically incorrect and send them out on the streets instead. Give them powers to stop and search without requiring equal searches of grannies and black youths (sorry but it's the black youths carrying knives), and create a culture where any group of young people standing around can expect to be gone over with a hand held metal detector. Now, which party will run with that as an election manifesto promise?
