More than one in five Londoners have been attacked or threatened with violence in the past five years, a poll has found.
The survey of more than 1,000 adults found 22 per cent of people living in the city had been physically attacked or threatened. Nearly six in 10 (57 per cent) were male and a similar proportion were aged between 18 and 34, according to the Survation research commissioned by the Centre for Social Justice (CSJ).
A tenth of Londoners said they knew someone who possessed, or had possessed, an illegal firearm and nine per cent believed it would be possible for them to get such a weapon for themselves.
