Where is London's worst area for knife crime?

from The Standard

Knife crime has soared by 86% in London in a decade, according to a report from the Policy Exchange think tank. Just 20 streets around Oxford Circus and Regent Street accounted for one in every 15 knife attacks across the capital, it found. Former Metropolitan Police Detective Chief Inspector David Spencer shares the findings and explains what needs to happen to tackle the capital's crime epidemic. And in part two, The Standard’s Commissioning Editor and Culture Writer Vicky Jessop shares her thoughts on the Channel 4 documentary about adult content creator and controversial figure Bonnie Blue - 1,000 Men and Me: The Bonnie Blue Story. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
