>> Pick over the statistics.
Like Sooty I'm surprised how few have not resulted in charges.
Other than that there's the obvious point that stabbings are mostly male on male and involve young people. I doubt that the profile of either perpetrators or victims match the distribution of BAME people in the country as a whole or in the locale where the stabbings occurred.
Lee Pomeroy sticks in my mind as one where a dispute on a crowded train escalated out of all proportion to the issue at stake. At least one, a young woman, was random and related to the perpetrators mental health.
