Préfecture, justice, mairie et rectorat de la capitale ont présenté, mardi, une série de mesures répressives, mais aussi de sensibilisation, après une série de rixes entre jeunes, rendues mortelles par l’usage de couteaux.
Following the fatal stabbing of a 14-year-old in January, Paris has launched a plan to prevent minors from carrying and using knives. The plan, supported by the police, education authorities, city hall, and the justice system, includes both repressive measures and awareness campaigns, aiming to address the rise in knife-related violence among increasingly younger minors, despite a general decrease in youth delinquency. Knife seizures are up, and the number of gang fights has doubled in the past year, resulting in several deaths.
