Description

Jason Kaye reports on a fall in reported crimes in London for the first time in 6 years, partly attributed to the success of the Metropolitan Police’s Operation Bumble Bee. Met figures, issued in the Commissioner’s annual report, show a five percent decrease in the capital’s crime overall, while Commissioner, Sir Paul Condon’s main concern is the rise in armed attacks on police. Includes reaction from Alun Michael, Labour home affairs spokesman; Andrew Young, vice chair of the Gun Trade Association; Helen Pegg, Victim Support; Paul Condon; Professor Terence Morris, LSE.
