Proceeding contribution from Diane Abbott (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 9 June 2009. It occurred during Opposition day on Knife Crime.
Knife Crime
On the question of young people's attitude to murder, is it not perhaps so much that they think that murder is acceptable but that they believe in their gangs and their communities that anything is acceptable when it comes to enforcing respect, to territorial defence of their gang or to demonstrating how much of a man they are? It is such attitudes that we have to undermine.
