Crimes of Violence: Greater London (5 September 2022)

As of June 2022, the latest data for hospital admissions for under 25s for assault with a sharp object – our primary metric for measuring serious violence – is down -17% in London compared to June 2021.

This financial year we have provided £12.7m of funding to the London Violence Reduction Unit – which brings together key partners to tackle violence - and £8m of ‘Grip’ funding to support the Metropolitan Police Service’s response to violence.
