The headlines are louder than ever, but stats show crime is lower than ever, yes it is steadily rising over the last year, but nothing compared to the 80s/90s/00s. And this is despite more information and data being collected now.

Nothing happened has never been a newspaper headline that sells
That’s because people aren’t reporting. I say this by the amount of posts asking reddit for advice what to do when the first thing they should do is go to the Police and not Reddit
As someone who was regularly jacked in the late 90s, I find this reassuring
social media coverage of crime has skyrocketed
I’m not sure you know how to read a graph. There’s been an uptick free lockdown which means this is it all time low.
For some crimes, it’s very similar to the late 90’s …
Source?
Well maybe nobody is there to record them.
So if stealth and snatch theft are .3% and overall is .6%, the other .3% are mugged?
It’s because people can’t afford to become criminals anymore. They have to take 2 jobs and the shifts on deliveroo take up too much time
Just going to leave this here…

But but but that Mr Khan… Damn your facts.
Only paints a partial story. Our housemates and mates don’t bother reporting theft and assault, police don’t care or investigate so why bother is the consensus
Is this for London or all of England?
Wtf are they going back to 1980? I guess if you take I back to 1000ad you might find that crime is actually up.
Reported crime you mean.
That’s because it’s much harder to report a crime nowadays.
My case of ABH (closed with no investigation) wasn’t reported as that, just the attempted mugging.
It will be low if you can’t be bothered to report anything because all you’ll get is a bs email about reference number and “case closed, no evidence, couldn’t be bothered”.
“Crime is lower than ever, yes it is steadily rising over the last year”.
I’m sympathetic to the point you’re making but clearly this is wrong.
Yes, crime is low compared to historical levels, but if it’s just gone up a bit then clearly it’s not “lower than ever”.
Why does every supermarket have a security guard outside now?
*reported crime.
Would you mind posting a source? It’s harder to be a doubting Thomas if you can see the reputability and quality of the source
People keep talking about reported crimes. But of course you’re going to report the crimes listed otherwise how do you get the reference number to claim your insurance? Like people are really making out their cars are getting jacked and they are not calling the police cos they won’t do anything? Be serious please, for anyone who has lived in London for a while its obvious crime is down. Stop letting social media convince you otherwise.
The only thing that’s changed is that now people don’t bother reporting because they know nothing will be done
What? This can’t be true.
Barry from Chelmsford told me that Londinistan is a crime hotspot thanks to Sadiq Khant?
