Monday briefing: crime and the thinned blue line
Cuts to policing under a Tory government are likely to have contributed to a rise in serious, violent crime, leaked Home Office documents show. Figures from November showed a 20% annual rise in gun, knife and serious violent crime across England and Wales, and London has seen more than 50 killings already this year.
