Congratulations to all those who put the Croydon Guardian's Knife Crime Special together.

Good to see constructive journalism and editorial planning that allows the readers to make joined-up thinking, rather than the usual sensationalism that can only produce knee-jerk reactions - of which there are far to many on this knife issue.

More of this please.

I live in Thornton Heath, close to where were this terrible recent murder happened.
