The Home Office announced new plans on Wednesday to fight knife crime. Stores must report suspicious knife sales. Selling knives to kids will face a longer sentence. Illegal blades will also get a harsher sentence, with the jail time now being two years.
These plans are called Ronan’s Law, named after Ronan Kanda. He was killed by mistake. His killers bought knives without ID.
