The Fight Against Crime In London Continues

Crime remains a critical issue in several areas across London, including Islington, Tottenham, Finsbury Park, and beyond.

For example, Finsbury Park experienced a crime rate of 356 per 1,000 residents in 2023, driven by anti-social behaviour, theft, and violent offenses. Tottenham, known for its high rates of violent crime and theft, also shares similar challenges, especially in its efforts to combat public disorder. These crime levels highlight the urgency for effective crime prevention measures.
