If people are looking to blame London Mayors for the murder rates, instead of say the government for cutting the police forces, cutting services and funding for youths and social services etc ... then Boris isn't exactly a shining example.
Upwards trend when Livingstone took over, but within a few years it started to decline on a downwards trend.
Johnson took over in a downwards trend from Livingstone and left with an upward trend.
Khan took over during an upwards trend from Johnson.
Considering it takes at least a couple of years of policy to take any real effect, Johnson took over @ 148 but his policies really just carried on the trend till 2010 where they had an effect if any @ 123.
Considering Johnson left in 2016 and any policy Khan had would have not effected things to 2018, Johnson left @ 130.
So that's not only from a downwards trend to an upwards one, but arguably at a higher rate than he effectively had any impact upon things.
Therefore either it appears that it's only a Mayors fault if he happens to be Labour, the son of Pakistani immigrants and a muslim ... or it's not really the Mayors fault and has far more to do with a combination of Governmental policy on under funding and cutting services and budgets and the violent crime that is a fallout from the war on drugs and the vast sums of money criminal gangs are willing to kill over. |
