Speaking after signing the Mayor of London declaration of acceptance of office, Mr Johnson described youth violence as "the number one issue that we face in this city".
"I do think it's the job of the mayor to lead the fightback against it and that is what I aim to do," he said, identifying crime on London's buses as a particular scourge.
The formal signing ceremony at City Hall came just hours after a 15-year-old boy was found stabbed to death in a stairwell in south London - the latest victim of a wave of knife-crime among young people in the capital.
