Okay, I take that DP
Here’s my response:
- there’s no information about reported crime versus arrest rates at Notting Hill
- I should’ve multiplied it by 100 rather than 1000 ( ED 12,000 Notting Hill Carnival 1200000 ) apologies
- I’m now limiting my comments to sex crimes and violent crimes 17 in Notting Hill in three days
- In ED, there were 20 sex crimes and violent crimes in a month. (Average)
- if I’m multiply that by 100 that should give me how many such crimes amongst 1.2 million people = 20X100 =2000 I’m now dividing that by 10 to give a three day total for Notting Hill Carnival to have crime at the same level of East Dulwich; so there should be 200 reported sex and violent crimes at the Notting Hill carnival but I do not have the statistics for that. There were 17 arrests for sex crimes and violent crimes.
Yes, the gap between reported and arrest is a massive problem especially in sex crimes.
