It’s hard to believe some people exploit tragic, dire situations for personal gain. That’s what happened during the COVID-19 pandemic when countless individuals defrauded the federal government as it rushed to provide aid that became a lifeline for countless American businesses. This edition of Investigative Case Highlights sheds light on one of the more egregious pandemic relief frauds committed by a person who betrayed everything she swore to protect.

I think we all agree knife crimes are bad. But they are no where near as prolific as we are led to believe, nor are we suffering an epidemic of unprecedented proportions related to the rise in knife crime! So why then do I hear so much from News outlets, and of course our social media influencers and self proclaimed self defence experts who believe and regurgitate scaremongering headlines, about how the rise in knife crime is exploding out of control? When in fact death by knife or other 'pointy edgy thingy's' is actually down since 2018 when it hit 258 deaths. In 2018 only the true professionals in our industry and beyond were shouting about the knife crime rate, rising from a 2014 all time UK low! 186 murders 1997 being a much more dangerous place to live as far as knife crimes and just about all physical violence was concerned! Knife crime representing, more or less consistently 30% of all murders (UK) the rise in knife crime represents a rise in all crime at the same rate +/- If you think things are bad now let us revisit 1977 with 418 murders by knife, 723 in 2005/6 and in 2002/3 there were 953 knife related murders . So tell me again about this catastrophic rise in knife crime, that we should all be so scared of! Statistics do not give the whole picture they can be misleading and manipulated depending on the narrative you are looking for and the way the information was originally collected and categorised, for that reason I have concentrated on murders. I think most would agree that is the most serious knife attack! Yes knife attacks are amongst the scariest to prepare for, but if you are still eating fast food, smoking or drinking alcohol you really shouldn't be concerning yourself too much with knife crimes.
