Thank you for your request for information on knife crime.
The most up-to-date police recorded figures come from the Crime in England and Wales publication. In addition to this, we also publish Homicide in England and Wales annually which includes figures on knife crime homicides using the Home Office Homicide Index. Although less timely, this puts more context around knife crime homicides and may also be of use. The next publication is expected to be released on the 13 February, 2020. For the Crime in England and Wales publication, figures for homicides involving a knife or sharp instrument can be found in the Crime in England and Wales: Other related tables table F3.
For the year ending September 2019, there were 221 homicides involving a knife or sharp instrument recorded by the police. This figure is for England and Wales only and it excludes data from Greater Manchester Police (GMP). As footnote 3 explains "Data from Greater Manchester Police (GMP) are excluded. This force reviewed their recording of knife or sharp instrument offences in December 2017. This revealed that they were under-counting these offences. Following this review, there has been a sharp increase in the number of knife or sharp instrument offences recorded by GMP from January 2018 to September 2019 compared with previous quarters. Previous data have not been revised and the data are therefore not comparable. Due to this, data from GMP have been excluded from the table."
For the year ending December 2019, data will be available in the next publication which will be released on 23 April.
