Poll: Which crime is up in London over the last year?
Quick pop quiz.

No option for 'All of the above'?
Personally I'd say gun-crime.

Dammit - can someone add 'all of the above'? Not sure how to edit polls.

Its Murder, I am sure I read about it last week. Overall Crime is down but Murder rates are up.

Most of the above went down, robbery went up by about 1% overall according to some figures.

Re: Poll: Which crime is up in London over the last year?
Its not so much trying to guess what the answer is, its trying to guess what BBKing's agenda is, and working backwards from there.
I'm going for none. The amount of recorded crimes in all of those categories fell.

And how Bush is to blame 
Actually, I'd expect most people to mention gun crime as it's been in the media a lot recently, thus showing that you shouldn't believe everything you read, or rather you shouldn't interpret everything you read as everything that's going on.

That was my train of thought too, except I extrapolated it a bit further to the old line that we-are-all-fear-obsessed-sheep-because-of-the-tabloids.

Re: Poll: Which crime is up in London over the last year?
I guessed all of the above before discovering that it wasn't an original poll option, so presumably I'm wrong .... I'm guessing BBK knows the answer to this question and plans to post it some time this evening?

Well, judging by the poll results, so far the tabloids are winning.

I'd say they were all down, robbery as a whole might be up, but robbery of individuals like mugging is down as well
