## Resource

Londoners are wildly misinformed about crime rates in their city—believing 25% have been victims, when it’s actually 12%; thinking London has the highest violent crime rate, when it’s the lowest; and assuming crime has risen since 2019, when it’s actually fallen 1.4%. Yet they’re spot-on about specific crimes like shoplifting and sexual offenses, which have indeed increased. Meanwhile, online narratives fueling fear have surged 350%, prompting the Mayor to launch a £7 million campaign to fight misinformation and counter the “relentless attack of lies and hatred” against the city.
