November crime stats
Crime fell again in all six Putney areas in November 2008 (remember there's a two month lag between the month they happened and the reporting of them).
As this graph shows, with the exception of December 2007, when crime spiked in the run-up to Christmas, all wards are now safer than they were in May 2007 when I first started reporting these figures. There have been marked falls in crime in Roehampton and Southfields during this period - during which Roehampton has become substantially safer than the London average.
As we saw at the end of last year, it's probably wise to forecast a notable jump in crime in the December figures - but what we also saw was a January fall larger than the December "blip" - so that's also something to watch out for.
Here are November's figures - a reminder that green figures show a decline or the same level of crime as the preceding month; red shows an increase.
