Rising crime in the UK

[Sheldon]

Who told you that, Elon Musk? 

"As of 2024, violence, burglary and car crime have been declining for 30 years and by close to 90%, according to the Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW) – our best indicator of true crime levels. Unlike police data, the CSEW is not subject to variations in reporting and recording.


The drop in violence includes domestic violence and other violence against women. Anti-social behaviour has similarly declined."

You seem to be indulging in rhetoric, one wonders why?

Everyone knows that crime is rising in the UK and why.

Wow, you think you know what everyone knows? That's amazing, how did you manage that? Dear oh dear...

Do you really imagine your hyperbolic argumentum ad populum fallacy, will lend your lie some gravitas, when the research shows it is not just empty rhetoric, but very wrong? 

Now why would that be I wonder? 

"Despite significant decreases in crime over the past 30 years, most people in England and Wales believe crime is rising; Associate Professor Toby Davies and Professor Graham Farrell of the University of Leeds argue that while there are various reasons for the perception gap – including political rhetoric and media coverage – governments should be taking decisions on crimes based on evidence, not public perception."

Maybe they love rhetoric over facts, as you seem to?
