5:14Now PlayingOli Dugmore hears from a caller called Kevin, who claims that black people are more 'culturally inclined to use knives' than white people.
The discussion comes amid Idris Elba's claim that the government applies more ‘focused thinking’ on tackling XL bullies than on the issue of knife crimes.
His comments came after being presented with new LBC analysis back in January, which revealed that five children per day were arrested for carrying a knife in 2023, including children aged 10 - the minimum age of criminal responsibility.
According to LBC's findings, published for the first time today, around 1,500 children aged 16 and under were arrested for the possession of a knife or other sharp implements such as screwdrivers, carving forks or shards of glass over the first ten months of 2023.
