I have a household family member who works in the MET; crime levels are way down, discounting those being given public order fines.
The reduced traffic on the roads also means that vehicles known to be involved in crime are being apprehended far more regularly.
Car theft hs dropped dramatically, from approximately 20 per day in most boroughs to just a few across the borough's and are limited to opportunistic theft rather than the mass orgaised thefts that were taking place..
Yet amongst this, stop and searches are still happening and people are still being caught carrying knives... |

No not in law enforcement, but I do notice when crime goes up in an area of low population, its kinda hard to miss |

"Just curious if the crime rates are up in the UK"
Far too early to tell.
The 2020 edition of the BCS when it comes out may tell some very interesting tales, especially around online and domestic crime. There's probably a fascinating piece of work to be done around 'no criming' as well.

"Just curious if the crime rates are up in the UK"
Don't know about UK but my colleagues in Lagos, they are seeing huge increase in crime, patents taking turns to stay awake at night to guard the house and scared to go to the supermarket in the day as armed gangs are robbing cars full of food. People are scared for their lives and running out of food, water and power. |

VI is fine. Cameron Road, Four Square and Hubbmart are still open.
Diesel theft is on the rise and police are escorting tankers from Apapa.
I would guess that mainland Lagos it will be significantly worse especially at night.
Police are still accepting "something for there boys" if you get stopped. |
