It's been over 20 years(!) but this is still the biggest travesty of justice Pitchfork review of all time. A solid 10.0, one of the best albums of the 2000s.

Not all places have seen a decline, with the Titanic DEA of East Belfast one area where there has been an increase in recorded crimes over the last couple of years.

There was a post-Covid spike in incidents of violent and sexual offences, but this has been falling over the last few years as well and September 2025 was lower than September 2019.

There has been a significant decline in incidents of anti-social behaviour in NI since 2011, with the summer peak in 2025 around 42% lower than 2013.

I added another dashboard on my site on Northern Ireland crime statistics. It has data on reported crimes by category for NI, the councils and down to DEA level, since 2011.

Not something I would have known from media coverage - bicycle theft prevalence in England and Wales for 2024/25 was the second lowest on record in a data series going back to the early 1980s.

Something I found in the UK police data - there has been a collapse in the number of burglaries in NI over the last 15 years. There were 192 burglaries in September 2025; the lowest since records began and an 77% reduction from September 2011.

Added another dashboard on my site on PISA data for the UK and Ireland since 2009. NI was ahead of both England and ROI for maths in 2009 and has since fallen behind; driven by a decline in grammar schools from 2009-15, and then another decline in secondary schools.

I thought this was interesting from the PISA 2022 data. Having more highly educated parents is associated with better performance at school until Master's level. But scores are much lower amongst pupils with a parent that has a PhD.
