I’ve just run a quick search on UKCrimeStats and thought I’d post up these links in light of the distressing events from last night in Tottenham not least 49 fires started by rioters.
Here is a link to crime in the Tottenham Constituency, of which David Lammy is MP and is in the worst 5% for violent crimes between December 2010 and June 2011 (25 out of 573).
In June 2011, the neighbourhoods Tottenham Green (123 out of 156) and Tottenham Hale (103 out of 142) compare quite well with other neighbourhoods within 5 miles.
