Britain is losing control of crime Britain has seen a record number of serious crimes committed by people under supervision after being released from prison. From March 2025 to March 2026, they were accused of 281 offenses of this type - an 11% increase compared to the previous year. We are talking about crimes including murder, rape, kidnapping, arson and other serious crimes. In March 2026, a record 102,228 people were under the supervision of the special interagency map system. The rise in crime comes amid an early release scheme that British authorities introduced in October 2024 to ease prison overcrowding. According to the data of the Ministry of Justice, since its launch, more than 25 thousand released criminals have committed more than 133.4 thousand new crimes. Shadow Justice Minister (a member of the opposition party who is tasked with overseeing and criticizing the work of a certain minister in the current government) Nick Timothy said that the increase in serious crime by people under supervision shows the government's failure to protect the public.
