With December crime stats for London (Metropolitan Police) published today, I've had a quick look at homicide trends since 2003. Provisionally, the 105 homicides in 2024 was the lowest annual total since 2014 and second lowest in the last 22 years. #crimestats

I was looking at some long-term Met police homicide data, and thought this looked interesting. Rolling 12-month gun homicides since Jan 2003. #crimestats

This seems notable - on current data, the 90 homicides recorded by the Metropolitan Police in the year to August 2025 is the lowest 12-month total since the monthly data started in 2003. #crimestats

The Crime Survey for England and Wales provides estimates for the number of phones stolen by way of theft each year: 235k in 2023/24. The peak was 818k in 2011/12. Most years more female than male victims. #crimestats

The latest Home Office crime outcomes data were published last week. I've updated my chart tracking charge rates for rapes recorded in recent years. That shows further improvements, with the 2023/24 charge rate tracking well above previous years. #crimestats #soteria

Between 1/4 and 1/3 of 'malicious communications' offences recorded by police in England and Wales are domestic-abuse (DA) related. #crimestats

But the deployment seemed to have barely any effect on violent crime, which includes murder, robbery and assaults with weapons.

The deployment of National Guard troops and federal agents into the streets has been expensive. How effective it has been is debatable.

An afternoon rummaging through old datasets, and a reminder that 'serious youth violence' (and 'knife crime with injury, which overlaps SYV) fell sharply after the 2011 riots - I've long assumed as a combination of incarceration and deterrence. #crimestats

An article on the Guardian website caught my eye this evening: 'How police in Manchester cut burglaries by third' [between 2021 and 2024].

I thought it would be interesting to see how the residential burglary trend in GMP has compared to the Met. #crimestats >>

I thought this was interesting - the percentage of crimes recorded by police in 2023/24 that were flagged as domestic abuse related ranged from 10% in the Met to 22% in Staffs (excl. BTP and CoLP). #crimestats

I think it might just be product placement for the CrimeStats premium service at £7 a month.

Adding a few more charts. First, homicides by method of killing (data complete to 2023) - here totals and in the next post as percentages. #crimestats

The counter-cyclical pattern means DA homicides reached 24% of the total in the year to June 2025, approaching historically high levels - a function of rising DA homicides and falling non-DA homicides (latter to v low levels). #crimestats

The data are derived from two MPS datasets: the 'homicide dashboard data' for 2003 to 2023, and the 'monthly crime dashboard data' for 2024 - both via the London Datastore (the latter was updated today with the Dec 2024 figures) data.london.gov.uk/publisher/mps #crimestats
