Mr Trump wrote on Twitter: 'Just out report: 'United Kingdom crime rises 13% annually amid spread of Radical Islamic terror.' Not good, we must keep America safe!' Figures released yesterday revealed that police forces registered 5.2 million crimes in the year to the end of June - up 13 per cent on the previous year.
But British MPs tore into Mr Trump for talking 'nonsense' and said he is 'spreading fear and xenophobia' by wrongly blaming the rise on terrorism. Others accused him of peddling 'fake news' and pointed out terrorism accounts for a 'tiny' proportion of crime in Britain.
But while terrorism has surged over the past year, with five murderous attacks across Britain killing dozens and injuring hundreds, it is a tiny proportion of arrests. Home Office data released last month showed the number of people detained over suspected terrorism increased to 379 - the highest since records began. Gfht
The bulk of crime relates to frauds, thefts and public order offences which have no link to extremism. Figures released yesterday show the number of violent crimes rose from 1,033,719 cases the previous year to 1,229,260 cases this year.
The number of sexual offences reported to police has risen dramatically since 2012 There was an 19 per cent increase in the number of sexual offences recorded in England and Wales, up to 129,700 on the previous year.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) data revealed the rise in violence was driven by increases in the violence without injury (21 per cent) and stalking and harassment (36 per cent) sub-categories. The ONS report said: 'Most of this volume increase was thought to result from improved recording practices but it is likely that rises in the most serious categories reflect genuine rises in violent crime.
Public order offences - up 43% to 33,082
Knife crimes - up 26%
to 36,998
Robbery - up 25% to
64,499
Violence against the
person - up 19% to 1,229,260
Sexual offences - up
19% to 129,000
Vehicle theft - up
17% to 427,561
Theft from the person
- up 11% to 92,435
Burglary - up 6% to
423,137
Homicide - Down 2% to 664
'These lower volume but serious offences are thought to be generally well-recorded by the police.' Police also recorded an 11 per cent rise in the number of thefts, with the crime continuing to rise over last two years. Forces logged 664 homicides in the 12 months from July 2016, which was a two per cent fall compared with the previous year.
However, the ONS said recent trends have been affected by recording of incidents where there were multiple victims, such as 96 cases of manslaughter from the Hillsborough disaster and the recent terrorist attacks in London and Manchester.
If cases related to Hillsborough and the terror attacks are excluded, the homicide tally went up by 46, following a 'general upward trend' seen in recent years. There was a 'substantial increase', of 59 per cent, in the number of attempted murder offences registered, which was largely due to terror-related cases.
Police-recorded offences are one of two official sources used to analyse trends in crime. The other is the Crime Survey for England and Wales, which gave an estimated total of 10.8 million incidents of crime in the year to the end of June. This figure includes experimental data on fraud and computer misuse offences, and annual comparisons will not be available until January.

'Police figures cannot provide a good measure of all crime in society, since we know that a large volume of it never comes to their attention. The recent increases in recorded crime need to be seen in the context of the overall decline in crime indicated by the Crime Survey for England and Wales. The survey remains our best guide to long-term trends for crime as experienced by the population in general.'
Soaring crime stats in England and Wales are NOT down to rise in terror offences - but terrorism IS on the rise in the UK Terror arrests have soared in Britain over the past year - but terrorism is not behind the huge increase in reported crime announced yesterday.
Home Office data released last month showed the number of people detained over suspected terrorism increased to 379 - the highest since records began. But murders and attempted murders due to terrorism represent well under one per cent of the overall 5.2million crimes committed in Britain last year, most of which are frauds, thefts and public order offences which have no link to extremism.
The sweep of raids following attacks in Westminster, Manchester and London Bridge, coupled with the rising number of threats being thwarted, led to a two thirds increase in suspected extremists being detained.
Met Police Commissioner Cressida Dick has said that, on top of the five high-profile terror attacks which have taken place in Britain, this year, police have foiled six further attacks in the last few months.
The report into recorded crime released by the Office for National Statistics yesterday mentioned how terrorism has increased the stats relating to some crime. It stated: 'There was a substantial increase of 59% in the number of attempted murder offences to 426 offences in the latest year. This rise is due largely to the London and Manchester terror attacks, where the police recorded 294 attempted murder offences.'
The report also states: 'Of the 664 homicides recorded in the year ending June 2017, there were 35 relating to the London and Manchester terror attacks.' Scotland Yard has beefed up its anti-terror force, but the vast majority of crime in the UK, well under 1%, is linked to terrorism
Keith Hunter, of the Association of Police and Crime Commissioners, also mentioned the growing threat from terrorism when discussing the figures. He said: 'There are undoubtedly key pressures on police time coming from rising overall crime levels, more complex crimes being committed, a growing terrorist threat and, more than ever, the police being called on as a last resort when other agencies lack their own capacity.'
His comments suggest some increase in non-terrorism crime could also be down to police having to spend more of their time monitoring extremists or handling the fall-out of attacks. However, the increases reported in those terror-related crimes are a tiny proportion of the overall crime in the UK, which it emerged has increased by 13 per cent.
The 294 attempted murders and 35
homicides related to terror attacks are low in number compared to the 235,000
burglaries, 200,000 harassment cases and 370,000 cases of shoplifting, which
have no link to terrorism (or Muslims?) at all.
Girl Raped 3 Times By Different Mulim Men In Central London

Police are hunting suspects after a
17-year-old girl was sexually assaulted three times in the space of an hour by
separate men. The horrifying incidents took place while the teenager was making
her way home from a night out in Tower Hamlets, east London.
She became separated from her friends
and was attempting to get to central London, where she lived. Police believe
the student was attacked on three separate occasions in the hour between
11.55pm on Friday, September 29 and 12.55am the next day. The Metropolitan
Police have today released CCTV images of two of the suspects in a bid to catch
the girl's attackers.

The victim's ordeal started shortly before midnight when she was first
picked up on camera being carried by a man, who is believed to be the first
suspect, on Cambridge Heath Road. The
pair are then seen appearing to go into a doorway on the same road, after which
the man is not seen again on camera, but items of the top half of the girl's
clothing were subsequently found by the location.

This man follows the teenager along
Mint Street and then as she turns right into Three Colts Lane and heads in the
direction of Bethnal Green Overground Station. When the next camera picks her
up a short time later, the man has approached her and they have reached
Corfield Street. The CCTV indicates that he then directs the victim into the
set just back from the street where they remain for a period of time.
The camera then shows the suspect leaving this location and walking
away. The girl, whose clothing appears dishevelled, emerges shortly afterwards
and goes further down Corfield Street. Just minutes later, around 12:45am,
detectives believe that the victim suffered a third attack, this final time possibly
involving two or three men.
The CCTV footage captures a third
suspect walking down Cornfield Street and joining two other figures seen in the
distance in outline shadow under some trees. He appears to bend down towards a spot on the
kerb in between some parked cars. Detectives believe it is at this point where
the student was sexually assaulted again.
This same man is then seen at about
12:55am coming back up Cornfield Street on his own, walking towards the CCTV
camera. The clip reveals that the suspect has a distinctive gait, which gives
him the appearance of walking unevenly and perhaps being slightly bow-legged.
After the attacks, a member of the
public spotted the teenager lying on the ground in Cornfield Street in a state
of distress and immediately rung 999 to alert police. Police were called
shortly afterwards and took her for examination and specialist support.

Detective Inspector Suzanne Jordan, from the Met's Child Abuse and
Sexual Offences Command, (CAS0) said: 'This is a horrific multiple sexual
assault on an young female who was simply making her way home after a night out.
We would like to thank the members of the public who intervened to help her and
possibly prevented her ordeal from continuing even further.'
'We believe two of the three were very
serious sexual assaults indeed, and are determined to catch the persons responsible
for these hideous crimes. I would urge anyone who recognises either male in
these images to contact us as a matter of urgency.
'We'd also like to speak to any
witnesses who haven't already come forward, or anyone with any information at
all however insignificant they believe it might be - it could prove crucial to
progressing our enquiries.'
London now more dangerous than New York City
London now has worse crime than New York, according to statistics: Muslim-controlled London is now more crime ridden and dangerous than New York City, with rape, robbery and violent offences far higher on this side of the Atlantic.

London now has worse crime than New York, according to statistics: Muslim-controlled London is now more crime ridden and dangerous than New York City, with rape, robbery and violent offences far higher on this side of the Atlantic.
The latest statistics, published earlier this week, revealed that crime
across the UK was up by 13 per cent, with a surge in violence in the capital
blamed for much of the increase. Seizing on the figures, US President, Donald
Trump, claimed the rise could be linked to the “spread of radical Islam”,
adding that it demonstrated the need to “keep America safe”.
But critics dismissed his comments as
“ignorant” and “divisive”, with former Labour leader Ed Miliband calling him an
“absolute moron”. Criminal justice experts insisted rising crime in the UK, and
particularly London, was more to do with the way the city was policed and
blamed the reduction in neighbourhood patrols across the capital.
While both London and New York have
populations of around 8 million, figures suggest you are almost six times more
likely to be burgled in the British capital than in the US city, and one and a
half times more likely to fall victim to a robbery.
London has almost three times the
number of reported rapes and while the murder rate in New York remains higher,
the gap is narrowing dramatically. The change in fortunes of the two global
cities has been put down largely to the difference in tactics adopted by the
two police forces.
Both Scotland Yard and the New York
City Police Department (NYPD) have just over 30,000 officers each and budgets
of around £3 billion a year. But in the mid-1990s spiralling crime rates in New
York - sparked by the crack cocaine epidemic - resulted in radical a new
approach being adopted by the city's police department.
Under the leadership of Mayor Rudy
Giuliani, and police commissioner, Bill Bratton, the NYPD introduced a zero
tolerance approach to low level crime and flooded problem areas with patrols. The
force also put a huge amount of emphasis on community policing in order to
build bridges between the police and members of the public.
As a result the murder plummeted from a
high in 1990 of over 2,000 to a record low of 335 last year. That figure is
expected to fall even lower this year, and is currently in line to dip below
240.
But the last decade has seen the London
Metropolitan Police move away from the neighbourhood policing model and low level
in favour of pursuing more serious offences. Last week it emerged that Scotland
Yard would not even bother investigating a large number of low level offences
as part of a major cost cutting drive.
In addition a huge amount of police
resources have been poured into high profile and politically sensitive cases,
such as the flawed VIP child abuse inquiry and the phone hacking inquiry.
Rory Geoghegan, head of criminal
justice at the Centre for Social Justice, said neighbourhood policing had a
wide range of benefits. He said: “By embedding proactive community policing,
the NYPD is helping tackle crime, improving the quality of life and building
better relationships with the community.
"It’s an approach and argument
that London – and the country as a whole – is struggling to maintain never mind
bolster, with too many preferring to talk excitedly about investing in crime
hubs to hunt online trolls.”
“The latest crime figures paint a
depressing picture for London that reinforces the need for the sort of
political and policing leadership that enabled the initial turnaround of the
NYPD in the 1990s under Bill Bratton and enables the no less seismic shift
being seen in New York City under Jimmy O’Neill today.”
David Green of the think tank Civitas, also said there was urgent need
to put bobbies back on the beat. He said: “It has been suggested by academics
that bobbies on the beat do not reduce crime, but it is quite clear that a
uniformed presence on the streets will act as an effective deterrent.
“The police in this country remain too influenced by the intelligence
led investigations focused on serious crime. That is exactly the opposite of
the model that has proved so effective in New York City over the past
20-years.”
