  1. #ONS state that #homicides ( #Murder and #Manslaughter ) in #England and #Wales are at their lowest level in 50 years).

    I have no reason to disbelieve these #statistics, so why does it seem there are so many #murders in #news?

    near 500 is still more than one every day, but another factor is delays between an incident and subsequent investigation and Court cases, and when a case is in Court same #crime will repeatedly appear in the news - its easy to double count incidents.

    Also 30-40 years ago it wasn't quite as easy to see news from a region many miles away from your home area, but today "local" news sites fill up the space with crime reports from other areas.

    This must impact a lot on fear of crime amongst those who aren't paying close attention..

  8. Black men and boys are particularly likely to be killed in England and Wales. A Black boy aged 10–17 is 13.4 times as likely to be a victim of homicide as a White boy of the same age.

    Being unemployed is associated with a *much* higher risk of being killed. Unemployed people are 16 times more likely to be victims of homicide than the population as a whole in England and Wales. Unemployed men aged 30–49 make up 0.9% of the population but 16% of all homicide victims.
