Gun Crime in England

In 2004/05 only 2 percent of all recorded violent crime involved a gun and 5 percent involved a knife. Forty percent of this gun crime was recorded in London. This may seem a large figure (perhaps not to you accountants!) but it equates to around 6 instances per 10,000 Londoners per year. Source: MPS recorded crime and Povey, D (2004)
The thing that concerns some people who are now looking for accountancy jobs in Cumbria is that this figure would seem to be increasing radically. We have all seen on the news over the last 2 years the numbers of gun and knife related incidents in the big cities, it seems noticeable that these often involve teenagers. Many of our candidates being experienced accountants and internal auditors have children of this age and are seeking a demanding job in Cumbria but with a peace of mind attached that the Lake District can provide.
There is strong evidence that this is the case Crime has fallen by nine per cent in Cumbria over the last year according to new figures published in 2008.The National Crime Statistics absolutely agree and confirm that Cumbria Constabulary is one of the top four performing forces in the UK for crime detection rates.
