knife crime, youth violence and serious Flights from London have risen dramatically in recent months over the same period last year, according to statistics from the Metropolitan Police.

a "holder Performance Report" to be held this afternoon (Thursday) by the strategic and operational committee of the Metropolitan Police Authority said the police between April and August 2011 Crime crimes with knives of all kinds have increased 17.1% (910 or more crimes) and theft by 19.8% (2858 more crimes) compared to the period of the same month, the last five years .

separate "performance report on" says the knife crimes in a "portfolio of violence" increased by 15.7% specific (to 892 crimes), and serious violence among young increased by 11.2% (3053 to 3394 crimes).

I understand that the Green Party London Assembly member and 2012 candidate for mayor Jenny Jones, who is a member of the committee will ask for more details on the new commissioner Bernard Hogan-Howe met with promises to stop using and find a more specific way.

The only good news in a knife crime performance ratio is the percentage of these crimes, who used a knife to hurt someone fell by 3.3% (or 60 crimes). This corresponds to the victims of all ages, but their meaning may be instructive analyzed in the context of long-term increase of over 30% of adolescents and young victims of knife wounds of crime over a period of three years to the end of March 2011 revealed by the statistics of the Met gave me in July.

performance report title says the number of serious violence among young people "is composed mainly of robbery (64%) and GBH (26%). This illustrates the important connection between the serious juvenile violence, theft and knife crime categories. These include crimes where a knife was used to threaten, but not bad and where the possession of a knife it was suggested to the victim in the commission of a crime, but not actually received by the victim .
  • The new statistics indicate a story less optimistic about knife crime and violent crime against young people as Boris Johnson was able to tell voters in London in recent months.
  • July in reference to a 8.5% reduction in crime a knife in the "Portfolio of violence" in March and May this year compared to the same three months last year, but the large increase shown in the new numbers is a longer and more recent.
Boris showed a decrease of the total annual "youth violence" category - which includes all victims under the age of 20 years - from 7.4% between May 2010 and April 2011, compared to May 2008 to April 2009. But the last climb of

serious
youth violence is a continuation of a trend that continued during the three years of his Town Hall. There were 6675 notifiable crimes in 2008/09, 2009/10 and 6777 to 6868 in 2010/11.

The performance report for the title was also better news about violent crime in general. It is said that in the "Portfolio of violence" that is "an offense within five months of 6839 to August last year", equivalent to a fall of 10.4%. Interestingly, he added that it was " slightly less than the rate of decline of 10.8% during the four months of July, "indicating that" the portfolio was not significantly affected by the disorder [riots in August] in terms of volume. "The report also that all violent attacks have fallen.
