Violent crime on the rise in the UK
The number of homicides including murder and manslaughter rose from 649 to 739, an increase of 14%, in the 12 months to the end of September 2018.
It is the the highest total for such crimes since 2007.
Robbery went up by 17% as did recorded sexual offenses.
John Apter, chairman of the Police Federation, which represents thousands of lower rank officers across England and Wales, said: "Society just isn't as safe as it once was, and although the police service is doing everything within its power, we are swimming against the tide and it is the public who are being let down."
What is going on there in the UK do Brits have an answer for it.
