- adventured 9y agoPlease enlighten as to what would qualify as a wave of crime then, in your opinion. A 600% increase in acid attacks? A 200% increase in gun offenses? A 70% increase in knife crimes?
- Richs99 9y agoA 600% increase in what was a tiny number to start with is not a "crime wave"
- adventured 9y ago~500 acid attacks annually in London, growing as rapidly as it has been the last three years, is not a tiny number nor a trivial matter. London has a lot of knife crime. A 24% increase in such a short amount of time is not a tiny increase in that either.
- toomanybeersies 9y agoSo from 80, to 500, in a population of almost 9 million? That's not to mention that we need to look at numbers in a long term trend, looking at 1 or 2 years of data doesn't show the full story.
