Tackling knife crime
Knife-crime, particularly among young people, is a high priority for the MPS. As part of our commitment to drive out knife crime, operations are being carried out across London using a wide range of tactics.
In support of this work, the MPS has also launched advertising campaigns to deter young people carrying knives in the first place.

It's not a good look
“It’s not a good look” is the message that the Metropolitan
Police Service is giving to young people to discourage them from carrying knives. It challenges the belief held by some young that carrying a knife can bring kudos.
