Wird Großbritannien gesetzloser? Wir haben die Kriminalitätsdaten untersucht

> According to the crime survey, there were 9.6 million victim-based crimes (including fraud) in 2024, up from 8.4 million in 2023. But in the grand scheme of things, this might be a blip: in 1995 there were almost 20 million crimes recorded by this survey (and it did not even include fraud then). Violence, in particular, has fallen by about three quarters since the 1990s, a trend mirrored in many rich countries. All crime statistics should be taken with this in mind: Britain is a much safer country than it was 30, 20, even 10 years ago.

I feel like this is the part worth emphasising.

Measuring trends in crime is difficult – you have differences in reporting rates, changes in policy, laws and recording etc., but the crime survey is generally the most reliable and consistent set of data. It’s also worth keeping out for „blips“, where we need long-term trends to see what is actually going on. Unfortunately it takes a while for that data to filter through.

I can see others have mentioned the reporting rate and it was also my thoughts on this too. With the reports they’re less police available to attend and that being a mildly known fact, maybe that would see less crimes being officially reported? As a result, this could affect the stats right?

The percentage of crimes that result in prosecution is far more important than the absolute number of crimes committed when assessing whether a society is becoming lawless.  

Most crimes aren’t reported…

Im sorry but phone theft for example wasn’t on the scale it is now. People weren’t going around on e-bikes stealing 20-30 phones a day

The country has more people, the idea that with even more people the crime rate has dropped in half is laughable.

Aggregating crime data is also pointless, you can hide horrific increases in violent crime.. in with crimes that are now hard to commit, but less shocking.

(Look at arrest rates for R**e, its only increased since 2016. After steady oscillating numbers for years.) 

Before everyone start blaming immigrants, the performance of police is pathetic, own it. From car theft to robbery their default response is they don’t care. We may have to outsource policing along with IT. Current lot is only good for eating Greggs in their car

The more unsafer the streets get the more the government tells people that the uk has never been safer. Animal farm in full effect

I know they were caricatures but the pictures of 18th Century rowdy raucous mobs in London is how it feels today. It’s like we’re going back to the old days but _way_ back.

Overall crime is down from the 2000s and 2010s but specific crimes like knife crime are up, shoplifting is at its highest point ever and phone theft is obviously high.

People are so terrified of authoritarianism that they have neutered all authorities to point of uselessness. The police in particular have been crippled because they can’t enforce the law against particular demographics and can’t apprehended suspects unless the suspect let’s them because any use of force will be treated as police brutality.

Simple answer. Yes

I see yobs bombing around on noisy motorbikes, electric bikes, stand up scooters etc with no regards for the safety of others.

These losers are prancing around with full face masks on, hoods up which makes it totally impossible to identify them. Even in the high street ! They all seem to wear the same black jackets, hoodies, face masks and the police appear to tolerate it.

They hang around in gangs of 2-6 .

Why the fuck aren’t they working?

Then there’s the accent. The most „put on“ bullshit ignorant sound a human being could utter and this is their speech pattern? They should be locked up just for talking like that

I assume there is a commonality here. They are, without a doubt, immensely thick and uneducated. They do not attempt to contribute to society but Instead actively seek ways to take from it via crime. They seem to think life holds no future for them.

If any single one of them is stopped for a stop search by the police they would likely have two things on them guaranteed :-

1) Cannabis. Which an intelligent person can use to inspire , create or simply listen to music to hear hidden depths and themes.
These thug fools who use it simply because They’re too thick to realise it’s benefits and just let themselves become dependent on it.

2)A Knife. Because they’re thick.

So yes crime is getting worse in London and there’s only one way to fix it.

It’s more an issue of general lawlessness where I live because there is no police presence and parents don’t care.

Kids racing around the streets and paths on dirt bikes, and boy racers speeding all over the town with nothing done about it despite complaints from local communities.

Druggies wandering around the streets off their head on god knows what.

Police aren’t interested in reports and rarely investigate.

It’s no surprise the official stats show a reduction.

No one reports petty crime anymore as they know the authorities will do Jack shit. This is all meaningless
