London's murder rate has overtaken New York City's for the first time ever as the twelfth person has been killed in just 19 days.

February marked the first month in history books that London had more murders than the American city with a total of 15 homicides. Out of the 15 killed, nine were aged 30 or younger.

In March, there were 22 murders, which is likely to match if not beat out New York's numbers.

Goes with my theory that bad people will do bad things. Simply banning some weapons won't change anything.

Couple of thoughts.

Ban knives!

Also, wonder if this has anything to do with immigration policies....

Obviously the answer is knife control.

They have the same problem we have, young people way too willing to take a life.

The research showed that it is possible to derive causal estimates for both migrant groups and found that the share of asylum seekers in the local population was related to a rise in property crime, while a rise in A8 migrants was associated with a fall in property crime. Neither group was associated with statistically significant changes in violent crime.

I would think our British cousins should want to ban murder at this point.

London's murder rate is lower than it was in the 90’s and 2000’s. The story is NYC’s drop in homicides.
