It has used Home Office figures to show the areas where people are most at risk of offences such as robbery, burglary and sex crimes. The article is from June 2017 but the age of the data is not stated.
It puts Greater Manchester 3rd (78.4) and London 4th (75.6).

In terms of Sadiq Kahn's impact, he's only been in power for a couple of years so there's an insufficient length of time to benchmark any impact negative or positive he may have made yet so people's views will be just that.

WW2? You are scraping the barrel a bit there, Andrew, that was 73 years ago! Christ!
All we actually need is tougher sentences, no early releases, and rehabilitation programmes in our prisons. It's not that difficult. Hardly rocket science!
Most crimes are carried out by the same old offenders.
