Lovely place - Liverpool!

Kennet in Wiltshire is 10 per 1000.

I live in the London Borough with the lowest recorded crime per capita, which is nice.

Just to put this into perspective, according to the Home Office Report (PDF, p113) on Crime in England and Wales 06-07:

• 45% of recorded robbery offences took place in London
• London has the highest rate of violent offences at 24 per 1000

Mind you, check the map of the UK with serious wounding crimes in hotspots - is that South Wales and Manchester highlighted? (p115)

If you are jumping to those page numbers directly, they are 127 and 129 in the PDF, although the printed pages are as RH indicates.

HTH.

Cheers FaQ - you'd think they'd put links in such a large document!

I had to search for "Serious Wounding" to find the correct page - there's a 15 page index at the start...

London 124
Yorkshire and the Humber 114
North West 110

England 101

The reason why the London figures are so high is because of all the scousers that live there

That's not quite how the report phrases it:

Of all the English regions and Wales, the London region had the highest rate of total recorded crime, at 124 offences per 1,000 population. However, this rate is inflated by the size of the visiting population relative to the resident population.

Bloody tourists! Nothing to do with the locals, it's all to do with the visitors - coming over here, stealing our crimes....

and all the cockeys have done a bunk to the costa living it up from a life time of crime

The region with the least confidence in the Police or CJS is the East Midlands.

Balance the high stats in the City of London with the very small population, see p131 for actual recorded crime figures and you'll see what I mean.

The reason crime is higher in London compared to Liverpool is that Londoners and tourists have something worth nicking.
