Question Author
/// Daily mail, eh? Headline is 30,000, figure in box is 27,725, headline is of 30,000 arrested for sex crimes and violence, figure in box is a total of 4,023 for sex crimes and acts of violence. One day,perhaps, the Mail will employ subs to write a headline which actually fits the text . ///
Admit there is an error in the headline when it states 30,000 but if you look at the second paragraph it states;
//// 'NEARLY' 28,000 Romanian citizens have been held for serious offences in London over the past five years, including violence and sex crimes. ///
Figure in the box is 27,725.
Regarding your figure of 4,023 for sex crimes and acts of violence.
I make that 3,720 142 rapes + 10 murders + 666 sex crimes + 2902 acts of violence = 3,720.
Oh and by the way the secret is in the words "in connection" meaning that more were arrested n connection with the actual number of crimes committed.
