A report by the Office for National Statistics showed that in the last year, the crime rate has risen at its fastest rate in over a decade. The overall number of recorded crimes rose by 10%, with an 18% rise in violent crimes, and a 26% increase in the murder rate.
Acid attacks are particularity on the rise in England, where men ambush victims with corrosive acid that melts the facial skin and tissue from a victims face, leaving them permanently disfigured. The practice has been brought to the UK from immigrants, primarily Pakistani and Indian men.

And yes, I know- America has a violent crime problem too. No need to share that very old bit o' info again.
