London sees 20% rise in rape reports in a year, police say "we don't understand the causes"
Via Jihad Watch. It's a mystery
The number of alleged rapes reported to police in London has risen by almost 20 per cent in a disturbing increase police are struggling to explain.

There were 7,613 reported rapes in the year to January, compared to 6,392 over the previous 12 months, according to figures collated by the Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC).

Sir Craig Mackey, deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, said the rise could not be accounted for simply by more victims feeling able to report abuse or better recording practices. "It is not as simple as saying this is increased confidence," he told the London Assembly’s police and come committee.

"Of course that plays a part, and faith in the process, but there is something going on with sexual offending in London that we don’t fully understand.

"We see the end of it but we don’t understand the causes."

Joanne McCartney, the deputy mayor of London, told the meeting on Wednesday that Sir Craig’s statement was "the first time a senior officer has come to this committee and accepted that the increase in sexual violence may not just be about an increase in reporting and confidence".

Susan Hall, a Conservative assembly member, called for police to measure the outcome of plans in place to combat violence against women and girls in the capital.

"Figures are really going in the wrong direction," she added.

Scotland Yard has emphasised that the vast majority of rapes are carried out by attackers known to victims but the statistics emerged following a "stranger rape" in Shoreditch.

#1 About better recording practices: are police actually recording — and following up on — the complaints of victims of Muslim grooming gangs now, or do they still know what the daughters of people like that are like, the little sluts? Those rapes were carried out by men known to the victims.

Really (He said incredulously)? You'd think Inspector Clouseau or the FBI was in charge in London.
