That this House expresses its great concern over growing levels of youth on youth violence and the increase in the carrying of knives; offers condolences to the families who have lost loved ones to these crimes; and believes that the presumption of prosecution should apply to anyone over the age of 16 years who is caught in possession of a knife.
