Murders in London Overtake New York for First Time Since 1800 Under Sadiq Khan

Some news that the BBC won't report. 

'London has overtaken New York City for number of murders for the first time in over 200 years under the mayoralty of Labour's Sadiq Khan.

Britain's multicultural capital edged ahead of the American city — once so notorious for its high crime rates that it was chosen as the setting for Charles Bronson's Death Wish –– in February, The Timesreports.

London saw 15 killings to New York's 14 over the course of the month, and appears to have outstripped 'Gotham' yet again in March, with 22 killings to 21.

Historically, London has had a murder rate per person between half and one-twentieth of New York's since 1800, according to FBI data and studies by University of California researcher Eric Monkkonen.

The change is partly a consequence of Mayor Khan's campaign against using stop and search on ethnic minorities, with London police chief Cressida Dick admitting that constables have become "fearful" of confronting suspects as they "might get into trouble or might not be supported if they had a complaint".

Figures released last year showed London was already the more dangerous of the two cities for almost every other category of violent and sexual crime, with Londoners six times more likely to be burgled than New Yorkers, three times more likely to be raped, and one and a half times more likely to be robbed.'
