A knife worse than a gun? How many attacks with a knife?

At the beginning of the quote, "In 2020, nearly 20,000 knife attacks were reported in Germany, which gives about 50 specified cases per day," says "Welt am Sonntag" (WaM), utilizing information obtained from the national Ministry of Interior." The quote comes from material: ]]>https://forsal.pl/world/security/Articles/8296669, in-a-last-year-old-German-reported- almost-20-thousand-attacks-at-use-scissor.html]]> There is besides quite a few statistical data in the material. 1 of them is: "60.4% of perpetrators have German citizenship, and 39.6% are citizens of another countries"

Another origin to talk about knife attacks: ]]>https://aoav.org.uk/2024/knife-homicide-data-in-england-and-wales-examined/]]>

Quote of material:

"No uncertainty the most common origin of death is the usage of a knife. Over the last decade (April 2012 to March 2023), 2574 of 6639 murders registered in England and Wales, or 38%, were linked to the usage of the knife. In the last year registered (April 2022 – March 2023), 41% of all killings in England and Wales were related to the usage of a knife, which corresponds to 244 deaths due to the stabbing of 590 all murders." [org.: Knife force is undubtedly a leading case of deaths. Over the last decade (April 2012 to March 2023), 2,574 of the 6,639 homicides recorded in England and Wales, or 38%, were knife-related. In the last recorded year (April 2022 – March 2023), 41% of all homicides in England and Wales were knife-related, equaling to 244 stabbing deaths out of 590 full homicides.]

Well... For many centuries, the main weapon in the past of wars was the blade. The 20th century dominated - you could say: a ball gun. However, erstwhile you look at various statistic in times of peace, the blade inactive reigns. usually a simple knife, not even a combat knife, but a kitchen knife.

The easiest way to scope for it.

Meanwhile, in the news programs in Poland, more and more materials about the usage of firearms appear, It would be ok (a kind of warning), only that there is no comparison with utilizing a knife in akin situations. This builds simple manipulation cutting out facts (use of dangerous tools - weapons?), a circumstantial kind of social reception, by scaring: the usage of bullet weapons. What is the intent of specified manipulation? It's not like you're going to take distant a knife from a society, the consequence of defending a knife against an attacking bandit armed with an illegal ball weapon is alternatively questionable. On the another hand, if a citizen had a ball gun, chances are even.

An interesting conclusion: does this mean that individual wants to lead to the advantage of bandits in the country? The definition of "bandit" might inactive request to be developed. ...

What's the matter? What is it? Why is that?

I'm going to suspend my vote here. Let each of you read this short entry, think about it, look, Google, compare, think about... It's a process that's tedious, but it'll give you any consciousness, it's not me who's going to describe these conclusions, possibly you'll get the right lead, and you'll discover something.

Finally, a fragment of authoritative police statistic from Poland for the year 2023.

Number of offences found 2023

(Group of legal acts)

Murder including attempted: ball (flame): 21 dangerous tool (here there is no discrimination of knife, axe, other): 315

Health damage: Ball gun: 9 dangerous tool: 555

Robbery crimes: Ballistics: 37 dangerous tool: 357

One might ask ourselves, for example, specified a question: why do specified statistic not compare and say that the most dangerous tool is: "a dangerous tool", which is surely not a ball (flame) due to the fact that crimes involving it are classified separately? I'm missing another variable in these statistics: how many bullet-related crimes were committed with an illegal bullet weapon?

I've heard from individual erstwhile that you don't make these statistic specifically... Why? You can only guess...
