Sadiq Khan’s London has seen an “appalling escalation” of serious crimes including murder, violent robbery, and home burglary in the last year, according to new police data. Figures released by the London Assembly Police and Crime Committee showing the number of crimes in the year to March 2018 revealed the murder rate surged 44 per cent in 2017/18 to 157, compared with 109 in the previous 12 months.
Violent robbery and home burglary were up by about a third in the period, and youth killings rose by 30 per cent from 26 in 2016/17 to 34 in 2017/18.
The figures also showed sharp increases in the number of rapes (18 per cent), knife crime offences (21 per cent), and shootings (23 per cent) from the previous year’s data.
Committee chairman Steve O’Connell said: “The unacceptable rise in the most heinous crimes such as murder, street robbery and burglaries is deeply troubling.
“The Mayor of London and the Met need to take urgent practical steps to address these crimes, all of which are a third up from this time last year.
“Our committee will be asking what steps are being taken to keep Londoners safe and reverse this appalling escalation in crime.”
However, Metropolitan Police Assistant Commissioner Helen Ball told the London Assembly there are signs that the violent crime wave is “stabilising”, pointing to figures which showed “considerably lower” murder rates in April and May compared to the previous two months.
Highlighting a large increase in the Met’s use of stop and search, with officers having carried out more than 12,000 in April, she reported that the surge in knife crime seen earlier this year seems to be slowing down.

It's become illegal to even identify the people responsible for the crimes.
Gee, yo’ mean selections have consequences?
Elections. Yo
Oh well, that’s their problem. Buncha self-hating white people did this to themselves.
Everything liberals touch. Everything.
Gee, go figure. Elect a muslim, win stupid prizes.
Kahn is secretly ecstatic. All going as planned.
Isn’t a 44 percent surge in murder just one of those things that are “part and parcel of living in a big city”? I heard that somewhere ...
Infidels, adulterers, and those who insult the prophet in any miriad of ways who must be smited are not killings. They are carrying out one’s duty as a follower of Islam. (As is then lying to and misleading the public)
Succinct. 100% true. Well done, simpson96.
POST OF THE THREAD.
Buncha crybabies.......they commit the viscous crimes but they start whining if they're ever called on it.

Ah, the joys of diversity...
We can’t deal with a problem if we’re not willing to talk about it or even explain it.
Gosh I miss Sarah. She is a true patriot and would have done a lot for the country.
Maybe she still will someday.
That is unexpected. Who would have guessed that disarming the natives and then importing hostile foreigners with no desire to assimilate would lead to this result?
I concur!!
Great post and I think people are starting to wake up to what you’re saying.
Wow, the hatred on those signs is nauseating. These people have a real problem.
