It only matters in comparison to the rest of the UK, you don't know how they are collected/recorded differently across countries.

London has a lower knife crime rate than the West Midlands.

Hope that helps!

Interesting it says knife crime for 23/24 was up 16% for London. I wonder if they only record convictions so the 19% decrease will change as people are convicted.

Also West Midlands is that not Biringham etc? Is that not one of the other mostly non-white places in the UK? You could have pointed to number 3 on the list Cleveland being mostly white(95%+ I think) and not being much lower than London.
