Again, pretty much all reputable self-defense instructors will tell you the same thing: Trying to use a knife for self-defense, unless you are a proficient knife-fighter, is a bad idea in every way. You can accept that fact or ignore it. I find that the people who want to ignore it are usually immature or hot-headed individuals who like the idea of knife self-defense on an emotional level and aren't willing to let the facts intrude.
As for the studies I mentioned, no, they do not "include gang bangers as participants". You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. They are statistical studies based on UCR figures or other government data, so they don't have any "participants" at all.
