(asked on 5th September 2022) - View Source
Question to the Home Office:
What recent assessment she has made of trends in the level of violent crime in London.
This question was answered on 5th September 2022
As of June 2022, the latest data for hospital admissions for under 25s for assault with a sharp object – our primary metric for measuring serious violence – is down -17% in London compared to June 2021.
This financial year we have provided £12.7m of funding to the London Violence Reduction Unit – which brings together key partners to tackle violence - and £8m of ‘Grip’ funding to support the Metropolitan Police Service’s response to violence.
