Original Note:
While there has been an increase in violent crime, including knife crime, in London between 2016 and 2023, the increase is consistent with rates across the rest of the country. The ONS suggests that changes in how violent crime is recorded may be responsible for the increase. https://pa.media/blogs/fact-check/crime-in-london-has-increased-at-a-lower-rate-than-other-areas-of-the-country/
