London is 'acid attack hotspot of western world' with victims as young as 10

 

Dr Simon Harding, associate professor in Criminology at the University of West London, said criminals had turned to acid because it is cheap, easily available and instils fear in both rivals and the public.

 

He said: “The rise in these attacks relate to a surge in knife crime in 2017 and 2018. Carrying bleach moved away from being a weapon of last resort, where it was used to target someone you truly hated.

 

"It can be used in robberies, burglaries, revenge attacks, during thefts of mopeds or to intimidate witnesses.”
