Can You Figure Out NZ FIREARMS Crime Figures?

'It Aint Half Hot Mum'

"He's gone a bit Doolally eh" - The British Army established Deolali Transit Camp near Mumbai in 1861 - together with a Military prison. Troops returning to Britain might be delayed there for many months together with the poor souls court-marshalled for uncoperative behaviour. There was a lot of malaria, venereal diseases, heat exhaustion, and infected sand-fly bites around .. all of which contributed to the camps' reputation for unfortunate neurodiverse behaviours.

Can You Figure it Out?

Latest released U.K figures recorded for Year ending March 2021 England & Wales are 14% down on the previous year - at 5,709 FIREARMS OFFENCES - including 35 SHOOTING HOMICIDES.  - Air weapons etc not included. - Figures for Scotland not included. 

- Greater Manchester Police not included. - Why? 

“Clearly, the current inability of GMP to provide the Home Office with reliable recorded crime data risks undermining public confidence and affects transparency in the service.

- Year ending 2022 around 44,000 Knife Offences recorded for UK. Figures exclude Greater Manchester but are 9% up on previous year.

All firearms & knives etc are highly controlled with laws in Britain - but Legislation obviously does little to alter or control violent anti-social behavior - especially when you are operating with 20,000 fewer sworn officers and more than 20,000 fewer other police staff.

The last four years have seen multiple punitive & stringent new anti-Gun regulations here on the pretext of REDUCING VIOLENT FIREARM CRIME IN NEW ZEALAND.

- Can the NZ Government Authorities Please release their successful crime reduction figures?

To date, I have been unable to obtain ANY current NZ Figures for FIREARMS CRIME or KNIFE CRIME.

- Every source of NZ statistics I researched online witholds any figures. - Every report I could find only quotes rates, percentages, perceptions or 'trends'.

This sort of reportage is deliberately vague & easy to manipulate & "adjust".

I am still looking for FACTS ..

Do you have any NZ factual figures?
