Excerpt: ...with crime in every 629 of the population of the City of London. The population of the Metropolitan Police Districts augmented by that of the City, being 3,221,419, must now be reduced (as even a thief cannot be in two places or both districts at once) by the deduction of the corrected population of the City, which will give us, for Police purposes, 2,5 73,406 as the corrected population of the Metropolitan Police District; and if we divide that number by the 11,203 Metropolitan crimes, we shall have, as the result, 1 crime to every 229 individuals. We have "thus shewn " that crime in the City is as 1 to 629, and crime in the Metropolis as 1 to 229 of their respective populations--a somewhat different result from that obtained by Sir Richard Mayne. " The proportion of crimes to inhabited houses is-in the City, 1 crime " to 12 houses; in the Metropolitan District, 1 crime to 37 houses. In " this relation crimes in the City are upwards of 208 per cent. higher than " in the Metropolitan District." The house fallacy is but one degree less in its unreasonableness than the pqoulation fallacy. The houses within the City of London are 15,488; but because many of those houses paying a higher average rent, and higher average rates than the houses of any other parish or district in the kingdom, are consigned to the protection of the Police, Sir Richard holds that, as they are not dormitories, they are therefore not houses. And by this process of reasoning it is sought to make " the truth known," that in the City of London there are fewer houses than rated tenements; that therefore crime in the City increases in the proportion to the confidence of the owners of property in the efficiency of the...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Statistical Vindication of the City of London: Or, Fallacies Exploded and Figures Explained There is, however, a reason, apart from my convenience, why. The figures relating to crime and police, as they stand in the earlier editions, should not be varied or recast. The assault, by the late Sir Richard Mayne, upon the City Police, as it regarded its cost and efficiency, arid his absurd and fallacious comparisons between Crime in the city and in the metropolis respectively - dignified as they had been by insertion in a Parliamentary Report have not been repeated since the appointment of the present judicious and efficient head of the Metropolitan Police. The figures relating to this subject remain, there fore, precisely as in the earlier editions, as a standing refutation of grossly false and calumnious statements, which had, most improperly, found their way into a docu ment printed by authority. Had these ludicrous statements been only approximately correct, the question of the popa lation of the City would have been exceedinglysimplified, as that population must have long since disappeared before the knife of the assassin, and the Vindication of the outraged maj esty of the Law.
