IT was announced this week that there has been a decrease in reported crimes in England and Wales over the last year.
But I suspect that this has less to do with fewer crimes having been committed and more to do with the fact that the public have come to realise that there is little point in reporting crimes such as anti-social-behaviour, burglary etc.
This is because the response by the police will be extremely dismissive – if and when they even bother to respond.
