Robbery
(asked on 19th April 2018) - View Source
Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the implications for her policies of international comparators of rates of robbery since 2015.
On 9 April we published the Serious Violence Strategy. The strategy includes our analysis of the evidence and the trends and drivers of serious violent crime. The analysis showed that all of the countries examined had experienced a fall in robbery from 2008 to 2015 and, in common with England and Wales, half of them experienced a rise in robbery from 2015 to 2016. The strategy renews our ambition to go further, setting out a number of significant new proposals to tackle serious violent crime.
