The idea that the statistics are manipulated and therefore can be discounted doesn't stand up to any scrutiny. The way the police collect and publish data is externally monitored and although there may be flaws in methodology they remain consistent so the broad trend of what is happening is identifiable. What they tell us is quite interesting and complex — crime had been steadily falling for quite some time but that trend seems to have reversed recently. However robberies have actually been falling in some parts of London so this is an Ealing specific problem however, social media hysteria is clearly playing a part in making the problem seem worse than it actually is. People have been blaming rising crime on the inadequacy of the character of young people since antiquity and every generation things the next one is deficient. The problems we are experiencing currently is almost certainly down to there being fewer police officers in London. |
