Have a look at this compilation by the Guardian news paper

.
Knife and violent crime has risen in the last couple of years by 18% in London and 13% nationally. Violent crime in Urban areas has risen by 26% overall. There are now 250 stabbings a week in the UK, 37% increase in sexual assaults. In 2014 there was 26,370 violent crimes in the UK.
(Some media sources report crime is falling but that does not include violent crime and the under reporting of sexual assaults)
It is NOT just street gangs and urban preppers who are at risk any of us that has to travel into cities, those of us with teenage kids, tourists, business travellers and even folks with bling on them are at risk. BUT also remember that with rising crime, falling police numbers, cut backs in targeted stop and search and burgeoning civil unrest coupled to mass migration into the UK the risk from knife violence is at an all-time high.
Consider pick pocket and street robbery gangs simply cutting open your bag as you walk along the streets, to being robbed at knife point, to accidentally wandering into the wrong neighbourhood, to getting on the wrong night bus, to finding yourself stuck in the middle of riots and civil unrest (and the police have withdrawn again as they did in Tottenham) to a real SHTF situation we NEED to be more aware and better equipped to deal with the growing risk from bladed weapons.

FYI apparently a lot of injuries sustained from knife attacks are sustained on the HANDS as people try to fend of attacks, it could make the addition of slash resistant gloves to EDC gear a worthwhile consideration.
