Homicide rate

[edit]

Homicide rate per how many people?

Assault with injury is per 1,000 residents, gun & knife crime are per 10,000, but I don't see what's being measured for homicide. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.198.120.51 (talk) 14:43, 20 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Lead section issues

[edit]

Since 2011(!), the lead section has a tag saying that it "may not adequately summarize key points" of the article. It would really also need a strong POV warning. What kind of introduction is that, telling us first off that the numbers are all wrong and unreliable anyway?

That kind of comment or discussion belongs in a "criticism" section further down. It's absolutely intolerable to start an encyclopedic article by saying "the figures (what figures? We haven't even seen any up to this point!) are misleading and understate the facts".

The article could be considerably improved by simply deleting the first paragraph, or by moving it to the end of the article and making a "criticism" section of it. I wouldn't want to make such a major change though without first discussing it here, so please comment. --91.34.43.22 (talk) 22:30, 25 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Acid attacks not important?

[edit]

Nobody find this piece of sheer nastiness worth a few lines? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Maelli (talk • contribs) 01:54, 24 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Out of date data -> remove

Most of the statistics end in 2008/9 here.

Let us update or remove these. Zezen (talk) 13:29, 31 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Phone snatching not mentioned

[edit]

I recently noticed that in this article, one significant issue seemed absent: the uncontrolled rise in phone snatching, mostly by thieves on e-bikes. Indeed, this phenomenon has become a major concern, not only for residents but also for tourists, and it's received attention from international media as well (e.g. France, Germany, Spain or even China. We could even create a dedicated article. 109.164.195.131 (talk) 22:56, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
