Attention span of a rock, an IQ less than and we need a good fucking cull. Parents totally to blame, and their teachers are the same hippy cunts that their parents are. They've grown up with no sense of right or wrong, and more importantly no sense of 'consequence'. Fuck them, jails are too soft, a cull is needed. Overcrowding is major now, get shot of the workshy snowflakes. A lot more organ donors are needed, thankfully brains don't qualify as yet, I would like some new lungs and a pancreas. I'm sure other people would benefit. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree but more because that's where all the politicians and bankers are and it sucks the life out of the rest of the country (countries for those not actually in the shire :P) than for any crime stats. The former are largely responsible for the latter. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grim Up North 3,726 Posted November 2, 2018 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_by_murder_rate Wiki has a top 50 list but London didn't make the list in 2017.

Obv, Mogadishu and Kabul won't count. Did you know that for a twelve month period between 1973 and 1974, the UK's highest murder rate per capita was in...Torquay? This was due to unrelated triple and quadruple shootings. Roebuck House murders Torquay Casino murders I would imagine Hungerford's 1987 murder rate will have beaten anything London can come up with more recently. Also, I mentioned this on the gangsters thread a while ago. Corleone in Sicily boasted an impressive 144 murders between 1944 and 1948 - not bad for a town of 11,000. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The top 50 cities have intentional homicide rates between 34 and 111 per 100,000 people. Worldwide, the rate is 7 per 100,000 people. London's rate in 2017 was 2 per 100,000 people. Increased compared to previous years and a bit high for the UK or Europe today, but not exceptional even there. (Chicago's rate is 24, incidentally). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,536 Posted November 3, 2018 The police force that reports the highest murder rate in the UK is Renfrewshire and Inverclyde. Although a "WTF is happening in Gourock" thread probably wouldn't get many replies. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

London isn't even the most dangerous mega-city to live in in the UK yet somehow it gets all the attention. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Obv, Mogadishu and Kabul won't count. OK, to compare with a range of other big or capital cities in high income countries, in homicide rates per 100,000 people in latest year where 2016 or later data is available: Chicago, USA 23.8 Washington DC, USA 18.5 New York, USA 3.4 Ottawa, Canada 2.4 Greater Manchester, UK 2.4 Glasgow, UK 2.0 London, UK 1.8 (based on the 12 months to March 2018 https://www.statista.com/chart/13767/london-homicide-rate-in-perspective/, which were uncharacteristically high compared to previous) Toronto, Canada 1.6 Birmingham and West Midlands 1.4 I've been unsuccessful in finding up to date city level data for Paris, Berlin, Rome, Dublin and Sydney, but older data suggests something along the lines of 1 for Paris, Rome and Sydney, 1.5 for Berlin and 3 for Dublin. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
