@earl-of-trumps saidLast time I looked the yearly average was 300 for New York and 100 for London.
hmmmm you appear correct but it appears 2-1, not 3-1

"The city (New York) recorded 147 murders between January 1 and June 30, police data shows.
During the same period London had 70 - less than half.
This means that the NYC figures are higher than London."
But as we read on, ...[text shortened]... n a 2014 UN study.
The average global homicide rate was 7.6."[/b]
Good job, you jolly ol' chaps!
My stated ratio looks robust.
@wolfgang59 saidBoth diapers and politicians need to be changed frequently and for the same reason.
Since coming to power in UK the Conservative government
reduced police numbers by 21,000. (Rightly or wrongly.)
Now the government is recruiting 20,000 police because
"The Conservative Party is the party of law and order,"
Wouldn't it be refreshing for someone to say
We made a mistake by getting rid of so many police and we are going to fix it.
