British Expert Blames Knife Crime Rise on Culture of Greed and Rudeness
Sir Alan Steer, behaviour expert, noted that adults were partly to blame for rising teen violence because youngsters after all picked up on anti-social behaviour around them.
He attacked a growing "greedy culture" and warned that children were copying adult hostility towards others.
Parents especially need to accept their responsibility to set a good example to their children, Steer said.
A teenager was among four victims of separate fatal stabbings which took place in London Friday, and a fifth man is fighting for his life.
The tally thus far in the capital this year is 20 and comes just days after the Metropolitan police announced that knife crime had usurped terrorism to become their top priority.
Describing the latest attacks as "shocking and tragic," Prime Minister Gordon Brown promised the first ever "cross-government youth crime plan" would be published later next week.
And his government would be relying upon advice from the likes of Sir Alan Steer headmaster of an east London comprehensive. Steer is to present Monday his proposals for improving behaviour in schools.
A comprehensive school is a secondary school and State school for children from the age of 11 to at least 16 that does not select children on the basis of academic achievement or aptitude. Some 90% of British pupils are educated at comprehensive schools.

In my work as a Parent Coach I help parents become far more aware of the influence they wield on their children. Whether it is through the words they use, or the actions they take, parents are a role model for their children throughout their lives from toddler to teen whether they are aware of it, like it, or even accept it.
Parents have a huge responsibility for teaching their children about respect and self discipline but the place where they can influence them the most is in setting firm, fair and consistent boundaries for them so they feel the âtough loveâ of being guided, protected and nurtured surrounding them.
