Gun-Free UK Gun Crime Up

Posted by Eric at 12:12 pm. Filed under: General

Instapundit links to Alphecca, who reports that Bloomberg Radio says:

Violent crime in the U.K. rose 6 percent in the three months through September, led by an increase in alcohol-fueled offenses and gun crime, police figures show.

Violence against the person, excluding sexual offences, rose 7 percent from the year-earlier period, U.K. Home Secretary Charles Clarke said, citing police statistics, while firearms offences increased 5 percent in the year through September, to 10,670 incidents. Total crime across the U.K. fell 6 percent from the year-earlier period, the figures show.

“Violent crime remains our biggest challenge,'’ said Clarke at a London press conference, his first on crime figures since he took over from David Blunkett in December. “It’s a difficult task, but we are going in the right direction. It will be my number one priority to drive down violent crime.'’

“… only outlaws have guns …”

There are certainly lots of books on the subject.
