""Stabbing is not a separate crime, but it is a crime.""

The only place in which anybody is ever charged with, or convicted of, stabbing is in the newspapers.

The crimes, according to the severity of the stabbing are:

Actual Bodily Harm
Grievous Bodily Harm
Malicious Wounding
Wounding With Intent
Attempted Murder
Murder

You see?.....Not one mention of the crime of "Stabbing". It is merely one method by which those six crimes may be committed.
