Tackling Crime

Boris- Fighting London's Corner
London is the engine room of the UK’s economy and over the last three years Boris has consistently fought to create the most competitive environment for London, its industry, its businesses and its people.
Wherever Boris goes he bangs the drum loud and proud for investment in the capital. And because we export up to £16 billion in taxes to the rest of the country every year, Boris unashamedly fights for a fairer deal for London, and also to protect our economy from ill-thought out regulation.
Since becoming Mayor in 2008 Boris has:
Crime has fallen by 8.8% across London
Robberies are down 20%
Youth crime is down 15%
The murder rate has fallen by over a quarter and is now at its lowest level since 1978
