Commenting as the Scottish Government launch the latest phase of their No Knives, Better Lives initiative in Inverclyde today, Liberal Democrat Justice spokesperson and Glasgow MSP Robert Brown said:
"Diverting young people away from carrying knives or ever getting involved in gang violence is the most effective way of reducing the grim toll of injury caused by knife crime in Scotland.
"Tackling the root cause of why people choose to carry a knife in the first place must be the priority, not the hollow, headline grabbing policies of Labour and the Tories on this issue."
