Not sure who’s claiming that - there’s a good police stats tool here that says violent crime rates in Cov are lower than comparable areas, and they’re falling as well: https://www.police.uk/pu/your-area/west-midlands-police/performance/compare-your-area/?tc=CV010

I do think with the amount of violent/petty crime stuff that algorithms throw at us on social media it’s hard to escape the sense that violent crime is everywhere even when the stats say otherwise

That looks like the same place where there was a house siege last January. Wonder if it's the same people involved.

Surely it's got to be something like that or gang / drug related. Or are random people getting stabbed at 2pm in Earlsdon?

The page explaining how they generated these numbers seems to suggest it’s some kind of online survey/opinion poll

It pritty much is, where the incident happened last year is at the very top of that albeit on a different road.

Definitely a lot of undesirables moving into the area since covid. Seems the landlords have mostly given up on the student market now and letting to anyone and everyone.

Before anyone uses this incident as something to gossip about or make a point about crime stats etc., this happened on my street, so unless you know who was actually involved and what happened, have a think how you'd feel if it was your neighbours and friends stuck in the middle of it, and saw folks looking to score political points over it, branding it the result of the kind of people living on your road etc.

Not commenting on this incident given what has been said but with the exception of a few hot spots, there are many worse places than Coventry

Was a domestic dispute between 3 housemates in their 50’s. Stanley blade the weapon of choice.

Your only comment on the matter being an attempt to defend your unrelated political position. Have some respect.

If you’d actually read the thread you would see I’m not on the wind up and have actually been affected by this. Let’s leave it here.

I spent many of my formative years on Newcombe Rd. Three of my best mates lived there and another’s family had the shop that used to be opposite the butchers there.
Seemingly these things can happen anywhere.

Found out who this is over the weekend and a guy I’ve known for a 30 years.

Let's just say he took a different direction in life but back in the day a very nice lad.

Real shame.

It’s mostly simple, people take drugs, young men or women supply them on the streets, gangs provide them with the merchandise, gangs are supplied by proper drug lords, gangs try and crush other gangs from operating in their territory. The big money goes back to all kinds of low life in areas where the stuff is grown and manufactured. It funds terrorism amongst other things.
Users have been known to beg, borrow or steal to get the cash to feed their addiction, everyone loses out.
Just have a fucking beer and take a pass on the silly stuff, gang crime would diminish greatly.

Or legalise it, tax it, and take it out of the hands of organised crime.

Alcohol prohibition in America was a fucking disaster.

Lessons clearly not learnt.

Same goes for alcohol then and the wider costs associated with it, yet you’ve said people should do that instead?

Not really a point is it? Considering that’s never happened in human history.

Hopefully the 150 odd new coppers will be stopping and searching like mad to clear the streets of knives and people who carry them.

Yes not to excess necessarily and at least the tax element goes towards keeping the country running.
