Stabbing deaths and injuries are more common in Europe than in the
Americas. Particularly in northern Europe, where levels of knife crimes
among young people have increased and made headlines. Deaths by sharp
objects are especially noticeable in the 15-19 and 20-24 age groups in
Northern and Western European countries. The proportion of knife deaths is
about three times greater than firearm deaths in these countries for the
20-24 age group. Between 2002 and 2007, hospital admissions for assault by
a knife or sharp object increased by 34%. One high-profile example of
homicide by knife in Europe occurred in 2013, when a 13-year-old girl was
stabbed to death in the United Kingdom. Her death sparked anti-knife
campaigns throughout the U.K.
