Try the home office's own summary

* Overall levels of crime stable at 11.3 million crimes.
* ­Risk of crime up by 1 percentage point (statistically significant).
* Violence stable (5% increase but this was not statistically significant).
* All personal crime stable (2% increase but this was not statistically significant).
* All household crime stable (5% increase but this was not statistically significant).
* ­Vandalism up by 10% (statistically significant).
* Domestic burglary stable (1% decrease but this was not statistically significant).
* Vehicle thefts stable (2% decrease but this was not statistically significant).
* Theft from the person stable (no change).
Given that they have a vested interest in showing what a good job they are doing, it is significant that they count 2 to 5% rises in certain offences as not being "statistically significant" Oh and note the 10% rise in vandalism.
Sorry to point out the facts. Perhaps if you spent less time in Labour Party HQ.
