"The number of violent crimes leading to injury reduced in all 32 boroughs in the last 12 months, with almost 9,000 fewer offences across the capital, new figures from the Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime reveal. The new figures which compare the 12 months ending August 25 to the previous 12 months, show violent crime leading to injury overall fell by almost 12 percent in London with crime reductions reported in every London borough during that period."
"Targeted and intelligence led action by the Met police alongside intervention and prevention work led by London's Violence Reduction Unit have led to 8,749 fewer offences in the capital. All boroughs have seen a reduction. Havering recorded the largest reduction with 314 fewer offences compared to the previous 12 months, followed by Enfield which saw 417 fewer offences. These reductions build on data which shows that London recorded the lowest number of homicides of under-25s for more than two decades last year."
Violent crime leading to injury fell across all 32 London boroughs in the 12 months ending August 25, dropping by almost 12 percent and resulting in 8,749 fewer offences across the capital. Targeted and intelligence-led action by the Met Police and intervention and prevention work by London's Violence Reduction Unit contributed to the reductions. Havering and Enfield recorded sizeable decreases, with 314 and 417 fewer offences respectively. London recorded the lowest number of homicides of under-25s in more than two decades last year and overall homicides are at a ten-year low. Knife crime is down 14 percent, and robbery and theft are down 13 percent, with improvements attributed to multi-agency partnerships across policing, local government, the Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime, and voluntary and community organisations.
