Morning Extra: Should knife carriers be automatically jailed?

Should knife carriers be automatically jailed?

BBC Radio Scotland - Morning Extra, Should knife carriers be automatically jailed?

Graham Stewart takes your calls on the opposition parties' calls for mandatory sentencing.

Scottish Labour is introducing plans for six-month sentences; the Tories say it should be two years, while the Scottish Government reckons the existing laws are adequate. Some experts believe tough laws aren't a deterrent and we have to address the underlying culture. Others argue knives are often carried as self-defence. Can there ever be an excuse for carrying a blade?
