Blame the government who has presided over this massive increase for failing to tackle the causes of crime, instead passing populist nonsense legislation around knives, guns etc rather than looking at the criminals and how to prevent them committing crime with whatever is handy...
Show me a government throughout the last half of the Twentieth Century and onwards which hasn't, doesn't and will not do that. In the modern era quite a lot of high profile legislation in regards of crime is 'populist nonsense' as you put it.
