According to stats obtainable from http://www.parliament...ch/rp99/rp99-111.pdf, the murder rate in 1990 was 9.6 per million of the population.
In the mid sixties, after the first influx of immigrants from the West Indies, the figure fell to 6.2 per milion, rising to 14.1 per million in 1997. Don't know what the figure is now.
Hopefully the PDF file above contains all the stats you need.

It is difficult to ascertain which time frame you think was safer and when exactly you believe immigration started.
However, if you were to look at a graph of crime statistics during the 20th century, you would see crime rising from 1900 onwards, with the exception of 1914 to 1945 where the line straightens out. This would seem to indicate that the people who would normally be committing crimes were instead fighting in a foreign country.
Between 1945 and 1955, the prison population doubled. was this before your alleged huge influx of foreign nationals?

We know the premiss upon which you ask this, AOG. (It's the same premiss upon which you almost always post). In the instant case, please tell us which period (s) you wish to compare with which. We can't help you until you do. Only then will you have the pleasure of saying that we are completely wrong !
Well, looking at raw stats, there doesn't seem to be a correlation:

Page 2 in the above document shows a steady climb in the UK prison population, with significant jump in the period immediately following WWII, and then again in the mid 90s.
These jumps don't marry up to changes in immigration rates. Also, the figures aren't split by nationality, nor do are they subdivided by type (violent/non-violent) offence, so they're just a broad guide.

Thank you once again Sqad, you are quite correct since the 50s.
But then they know perfectly well from what period I am talking about, they just want to jump in with their usual cries of racist.
After years of state controlled silence over immigration, now due to public pressure, we are told by our politicians that it isn't racist to discuss immigration, although they haven't yet dared go the whole hog and link the increase of violent crime on our streets with immigration.

"Was England a safer country before the huge influx of foreign nationals?"
You'd have to go pre-Roman and pre-Viking (maybe even further back) to establish that one.
I can trace my family back to 1460 in England - that's a direct line with no foreign marriages involved, but my DNA type is almost certainly Anglo-Saxon (ie Nordic/German). Does that make me foreign?
