Capital Crime 2026

Figures on crime in London are based primarily on two sets of statistics: the Metropolitan Police (MPS) reported statistics, and the Mayor's Office for Policing & Crime (MOPAC) victim surveys. The Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW) contains London data, but its sample size is usually insufficient for precise estimates of London numbers. Following a history of significant changes to UK national police reporting standards and systems, accurate trend data for many police-reported crimes in London has not been available until about 2002.
