Claimed as an act of self-defence, knives are the weapon of choice for young men to be taken on a night out. Across Australia and the UK, knife crime was on the rise in 2009 with immediate action needed to stop further injuries and deaths from occurring.

In this 2009 story, 60 Minutes investigates knife crime amongst teenagers and how parents are demanding action for legal systems to do better.
