| There has been a significant increase in knife crime over the last year in Britain. In London alone, nearly 1,700 people under the age of 25 were injured due to knife crime last year. In 2015, there has been an 18 per cent rise in stabbings and deaths in the capital. What do experts think are some of the underlying problems and solutions? | |

| The Holy See delegation to the OSCE (Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe) highlighted the ‘very significant number of hate crimes’ recorded against Christians and suggested that because it is not a minority faith, they are not considered vulnerable. | |

| Non-Muslim inmates are being forced to convert to Islam or pay a protection ‘tax’ to Muslim prisoners, according to a government report.

| Police are putting children at risk by being ‘too cautious’ in revealing information about sex offenders, according to a national children’s charity. The NSPCC says forces are not making ‘full use’ of Sarah’s law – or the child sex offenders disclosure (CSOD) scheme – which allows anyone to formally ask the police if someone with access to a child has a record for child sex offences. But the charity has today said there are ‘vast variations’ in the numbers of police disclosures made in different areas across England and Wales. | |

| The Catholic Church has said it defrocked 55 priests for clerical sex abuse since 2001. The new figures show they were removed from the priesthood after new rules were put in place to protect children and vulnerable adults. The Church said it has received many more complaints about sexual misconduct by members of the clergy. | |

| Addictive high-stake gambling machines are to blame for a high rise in reported crime at betting shops across the country, according to campaigners.

| Last year, 1,027 men in London alone reported that they had suffered sexual offences. Of these, 308 men reported that they had been raped. This number is particularly alarming as experts believe only two to three per cent of men report their rapes. With the increasingly fractured nature of society, rise in family breakdown and the sexualisation of children and young people, there are now likely to be many more young men and boys vulnerable to sexual exploitation. | |

| Police in London covered up an Abort67 poster which depicted the body of an 'unwanted' 24-week-old aborted baby. Officers stood in front of the image which was part of a display near Whitehall, and was placed alongside another picture of a 'wanted' 24-week-old prematurely born baby. This raises the question: if the image of the aborted baby is too 'offensive', why is abortion legal? Ironically, the police officers' actions underline the point that abortion should be unlawful. | |

| A report from the NSPCC has estimated that child abuse ‘cost’ the UK £3.2bn in 2012. This cost comprises of health (including mental health), criminal justice services (including both the offenders and victims who later become involved with criminal activity), social care and loss of productivity to society. This figure remains an estimate as the NSPCC does not know exactly how many children in the UK experience sexual abuse. | |
