I write in connection with your requests for information which were received on 17th June 2019. Please find below the responses to your requests for West Mercia Police and Warwickshire Police information:
I would like the racial breakdown/data in relation to all knife crime for 2018. That is victims by race and perpetrators by race. This can also include arrests made of suspects without any conviction.
