Help - Where can I find gun crime statistics for the last 5

[Mike357]

Prior to my meeting next month with my MSP, I'd like to do some research on the above before I go.

Before I start trawling the net, I thought I'd be a lazy t*@t and ask if anybody knows where this information is already?

Office for National Statistics is usually the place to look:

e.g. http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/rel/social-tr ... e-data.xls

or the home office (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6960431.stm)

...which makes me think that based on knife crime statistics that maybe we'll all be eating with sporks soon
