London murder rates fall beneath major western cities around the world

[KAL-EL]

Sucks to be you.

Not really.. where I live. It's very nice. Actually.. I'm about 30 minutes outside of the city proper

I thought Philly suburbs were quiet unlike the urban areas where they a full of "teens."

The Philly suburbs are actually very nice for the most part.

Ah yes those places where government is in total control and if you say a naughty word on social media that they don't like they can and have arrested folks for it. Btw VAST majority of folks "mow down" here in US are the urban dwellers a.k.a gangs/"teens" and they usually live in strict gun control cities.

when you say 'teens' you mean non white right? So you hate blacks, hispanics and asians. And You hate Chinese over in China and you hate fellow american democrats.

Maybe you should look at yourself in the mirror and give up some of that hate and just chill no one here gives a **** about how angry you are.

they usually live in strict gun control cities.

So they can't hop over to another state and buy guns?

Doesn't even make sense lol. If I wanted guns in a controlled city, Id just go to Texas or wherever buy a dozen guns and come back to the city. How hard is that?

That's a lot of assuming on your part and yes when I say teens I mean the blacks. Btw I have hispanic family members and love the asians here in the US because they don't start trouble. Your assumption of me denied!

Okay so you just hate blacks, chinese, Iranians, Russians and democrats? Most people don't actually 'hate' because we are normal functioning people who don't rage on the internet everyday

I live in the Philly burbs

The burbs are quite nice and extensive. Lots of jobs in Philly area and nearby Wilmington too. I once had a chance to settle there but it was not meant to be.

Since the topic is London related, I did recently fall into a rabbit hole of housing in London. Seems mostly tiny apartments (flats) are available and nothing good under $400k for a tiny one bedroom!

Well, unfortunately housing in the cities are usually super expensive. That seems to be the case whether it be in Philadelphia, London, or any other major city around the world for the most part.

There were 97 homicides in the capital in 2025, down 36 per cent from 153 in 2019 and 11 per cent fewer than the 109 in 2024.

The Met said last year also had the lowest killings since 95 took place 11 years ago in 2014.

The force stated that 2025 saw a homicide rate of 1.1 per 100,000 people - safer than comparable global cities such as New York at 2.8, Paris (1.6), Toronto (1.6), Berlin (3.2), Los Angeles (5.6), Chicago (11.7), and Philadelphia (12.3).
In 2025, stop and search helped officers seize at least 3,800 weapons and discover illegal drugs on more than 27,800 occasions.

Historically, higher rates of stop and search have been linked to lower detection rates.

But the 20% increase in use of the tactic over the last year culminated in 36% of searches in July 2026 uncovering evidence of criminal activity.

A statement from Scotland Yard claimed this was as a result of “officers making more precise and considered stops”.

Assistant Commissioner Ade Adelekan, the Met’s stop and search lead, said: “Stop and search remains a vital tool in helping officers remove weapons from our streets, apprehend dangerous offenders and ultimately save lives.

“But it is also a tactic that must be used fairly, professionally and with the confidence of the communities we serve.”

This is a slap in the face of the far-right who claim that the murder rate in London is "through the roof" and "out of control".

For work in London, a lot of people now live outside of London and commute in. With hybrid working still so prevalent in London, it is now more viable to be a commuter than ever before.

Hilarious bro they've been made to look stupid, especially with comparisons made. London has a population of 9.12 million people...The Met I know have gone hard on crime due to bad press and tourists being put off.
