So according to that first image, middle chart… if we add up the totals of the bars, 140k, 60k and 80k, it means there have been 280k knife crime victims in London in a decade.
That averages at 76 victims a day.
That seems high. What constitutes a victim? Is being threatened by a knife wielding mugger a knife crime?

so trend over time is that, covid years excluded, it’s really the same as it ever was.

Wouldn’t statistics on the aggressors be more insightful than of the victims?

Can you take the data back 30 years?

Is Croydon so low because gun crime is more common? How is Hackney not top 3!? /s (kind of)

First pic would be better if showed the victims relative to the total population.
Also if 1-9 is very low and +25 is low compared to its population size. It’s possible most stabbings are 15-20 and 10-15 and 20-25 are low as well, but we don’t know with that chart.

Can you account for population in the London graph? Considering London has over a million more people today than it had in 2015, the graph isn’t giving a great representation of the true incidence rate

well looks like the next wave is coming to an end.. so that’s nice I guess. I didn’t know they fluctuate like ice ages.
Used Python / Matplotlib for plotting, sources are london met police data from [https://data.london.gov.uk/dataset/mps-monthly-crime-dashboard-data-e5n6w](https://data.london.gov.uk/dataset/mps-monthly-crime-dashboard-data-e5n6w) and ONS population to get per 1000 values [https://data.london.gov.uk/dataset/office-for-national-statistics-ons-population-estimates-borough–vd615/](https://data.london.gov.uk/dataset/office-for-national-statistics-ons-population-estimates-borough–vd615/)
So on average about 72,000 per year.
I’m no mathematician, but that sounds like a lot.
