Young target of 450 knife crimes by renovatio

More than 450 young people in Northern Ireland were threatened or hurt with knives in the last five years, according to government figures.

Just over 100 attacks on youths aged under 18 happened in the last year, NI Secretary Paul Goggins said.

In 2006/07, 260 people of all ages were victims of knife crime. But that number rose to 423 in the past 12 months.
