I dunno man, I keep reading about more violent crime than ever in the LET these days. And stats appear to back that up . . . .
"In Blackburn, figures compiled by national think-tank UK Crimestats, which gathers data from police forces around the country, show a 36 per cent rise in violent crime from March 2017 to February 2018 compared with the previous year. The number of recorded offences rose to 3,828 from 2,811"
