Let's see what spin the right wing tabloids put on this... I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for big-font headlines on the front page though... :rolleyes:
Killings are lowest in 20 years, overall crime and violent crime are down
The number of murders and manslaughters has dropped by 17% to a 20-year low of 648, the annual crime figures for England and Wales show.
There were 136 fewer killings in 2008/9 compared with a year earlier, according to the Home Office figures.
Theft-related crime has risen in the last year, with domestic burglary up by 1% and shoplifting rising by 10%.
But overall crime is down by 5% and violent crime has fallen by 6%, and gun crime has seen a 17% fall.

Though killings are so low in the UK any moves are statistically irrelevant...
