Under this present Major its going threw the roof.
I'm not sure what Sadiq Khan is doing to fix the problem and he doesn't seem very effective as a Mayor as far as I'm concerned, but to place the blame solely at his door is also inaccurate.

Cutting police numbers doesn't help. There do not seem be any bobbies on the beat any more and closing police stations means that there is nowhere for ordinary people to go to report crime and phone numbers that don't get answered are pretty useless too.
It seems that there is just more crime all round. Our society has become more arbitrarily violent than a few years ago. But it's not a new thing to have knife crime in the UK. Perhaps some of this is also over reporting by the media relative to the old days? Perhaps the more it's reported the more people become attracted to doing it themselves?
But there is some good news on crime overall. I've just been looking at crime stats between 2001/2 and 2014/5. As a result of advances in technology (IMO) some non-violent crimes have fallen drastically since records started. For example theft of or from vehicles, handling stolen goods, criminal damage, domestic burglary.
Of concern is a massive rise in sex offences. Perhaps part of that is more reporting. It's interesting that cannabis possession is right down. I think they are just not bothering to stop people.

PS You give a link about nothing to do about my post supporting him on his actions to stop the knife crime in London

Do reread Nom's comments more carefully and then explain where he has suggested that Police numbers have increased.
