There as been 87 killings this year so far compared with 118 in the whole of last year, that is nearly 10 a month last year.

We have got 5 more months of this year to go yet, so at last years rate of 10 a month, that will make this years rate stand at 137.

So how is it waning?

Not many people have such a descriptive name of themselves.

"...as she insists America is far more dangerous than Britain." Oh so that's how to judge London crime rates is it? As long as we lag behind the US everything is fine.

Another Common Purpose Clown.
Should have been sacked after killing the innocent Brazilian, not promoted.

Why on Earth hasn't she changed her name by Deed Poll?

Oh get with the programme Anotheroldgent. They are going to stop logging them and supress any press reports, as prescribed in the 1984 users manual and widely practiced throughout the EU zone.

Deed Poll itself would be an improvement LadyCG. :))

She probably means it is waning compared to February, which had a spike.

Comparing London and New York this year, NY is far worse than here. In June they had x3 number of murders.

January
New York – 20
London – 10

February
New York – 14
London – 18

March
New York – 21
London – 16

April
New York – 22
London – 14

May
New York – 34
London – 13

June
New York – 30
London – 9

ah, some actual figures, which do seem to show waning.

[Togo]

Source?

[youngmafbog]

Figures mean nothing unless you know how they are obtained. (and what was excluded or included - depending on the story you want to portray)

[jno]

so many people too scared to look anything up when they fear the answer may not suit them. So some murders might be redefined as cat-stealing to fiddle the figures, eh?

Claiming that there is far more violence in American cities is an utterly facile comment to offer, especially from someone in her position.

Is Ms. Dick familiar with the word 'gun' by any chance?

Don't tell me her partner is Ms Head?
