Gordon Brown has said the Government will announce new measures to the problems on Monday.
"The dreadful loss of life in just 24 hours graphically illustrates the need for everyone to pull together to put an end to this unacceptable violence," he said.
He spoke out after four people were killed in separate knife attacks in London in 24 hours - a fifth man remains fighting for his life.
There was also a fatal stabbing in West Bromwich.
And tonight a man is in a serious condition in hospital after being stabbed in Bolton, Greater Manchester.
The head of Scotland Yard has sought to reassure the public after the attacks.

The majority of stabbings/shootings here in the UK has nothing to do with drugs. Its all gang related. Most of the people who are getting killed in gangs are no older than 18. Most of them are not drug addicts. (in the sense of being addicted to heroin, or because of the influx of heroin as some posters here claim).
Its all about their weird version of respect, you "diss" them and you will pay. Its about personal choices and/or no willpower and respect for humanity. Or in their case the lack of it.
It also has nothing to do with bad parenting. They can't possibly know what their kids are doing when they are out, much like mine never did when i was a teenager.
When i was a teenager violence was rife where i lived, people still got stabbed and shot, there were lots of gangs and lots of sides to take.
Nothings changed. Its just being highlighted more, simply because "Middle England" is obsessed with it (last year it was teenagers binge drinking). Remember couple of years ago when the hot subject was banned dogs? It will be something else next year.
People also have to realize that being stabbed or shot for no reason in the UK is extremely rare.
