This Government is committed to halving knife crime in the next decade as set out in our Safer Streets Mission.<\/p>
From Tuesday 24 September, it will be illegal to own zombie-style knives and machetes as they will be added to the list of dangerous prohibited items already banned, including zombie knives, butterfly knives, Samurai swords, and push daggers. The Government will also legislate to ban ninja swords and strengthen rules to prevent online sales of knives.<\/p>

However, the volume of cases dropped by the CPS are not as reliant on court hearings and were less impacted.<\/p> In response to COVID-19 the CPS introduced an Interim Case Review Guidance on the Application of the Public Interest<\/em>, as part of the COVID-19 crisis response. The guidance is to be applied for charging decisions, including decisions on whether to continue or discontinue a case that has already been charged. The guidance advises that when considering the question of whether a prosecution is a proportionate response, prosecutors should do so in the context of the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the potential delay to criminal proceedings. Application of the principles set out in this guidance may have contributed to an increase in the proportion of cases dropped under the category of \u2018Other charge/indictment; loss/harm minor from single incident; delay between offence/charge and trial\u2019.<\/p>"}
