It really doesn't look that much at all! for a population of 8 million its a tiny number..

I wonder what Dublin would look like with these gang wars going on at the moment.

You cant beat a bit of an aul murder

iPlop · 13-09-2010 4:59pm

brummytom · 13-09-2010 5:04pm

God yeah, that's barely anything.

Oh, no... actually, it looks like a lot

Peter Akers: Killed for being gay.

Bit harsh.

Absurdum · 13-09-2010 5:05pm

most of those happened on Eastenders

The number of knife murders is ridiculous, cowards.

amacachi · 13-09-2010 5:14pm

Agreed, everyone knows brave people choke the life out of their victims instead of stabbing them.

So many games of knifey/spooney gone wrong:D

I don't understand how the data's collected.

There's at least one murder from the 70's; most of the ones I've looked at are from 2008; but there's none listed as a result of bombs despite the attacks in 2005.

Yep, its far better to run behind somebody and skull them with a hammer....

Thrill · 13-09-2010 5:27pm

Looks like a lot but some of those murders go back ages. They should do a yearly one.

Killer map btw.

Yet Stockwell Tube Station doesn't have Jean Charles de Menezes marked out...

bonerm · 13-09-2010 5:38pm

Brilliant!

I knew if I stayed on AH long enough I'd finally see something good.

Probably as it wasn't offically a murder, the site deals only the crimes that have been designated murder and manslaughter.

Every murder since victorian era. Click the knife icon and find out which ones are jack the rippers::pac:

Far from complete. They are looking to add the pre-2008 ones according to this:

Why do they all look like M&Ms?

EDIT: Damn, Thrill got there first!

kincsem · 13-09-2010 7:21pm

From the map gun crime is a central London thing. Knife crime more spread out.
