I had to get further research for my gun crime campaign so I went and googled gun crime. I found this site (source) http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/crime-victims/reducing-crime/gun-crime/ and it has a great deal of information about gun crime, facts and figures, how the home office are helping and also how we can help to eliminate this new culture of gun crime.
After checking that link i went to the 2nd link that google offered and the site was (source) http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/2640817.stm this showed a bbc news article that was titled "gun crime soars by 35%" and included information such as There were 9,974 incidents involving firearms in the 12 months to April 2002 - a rise from 7,362 over the previous year. That represents an average of 27 offences involving firearms every day in England and Wales, with guns fired in nearly a quarter of cases. This is another reason why i chose to focus my campaign on gun crime. This figures show that gun crime has increased over the past couple of years.
