144 thousand children went missing in Britain last year...... Shocking figures yeah..... No front page news though.

There are only 365 front pages a year of any one paper for a start so it would have to be a tiny font to report 395 missing kids per day on the front page alone and that’s hardly going to entice me to pick up the paper in these lean times for print media. Think about it.
 
I was listening to Ian Dale on the radio and heard him say last year 60,000 cases of rape reported. Only 1500 prosecuted.

Nothing to do with anything on here. I just found both those numbers incredible.

60,000 people. Bloody hell. That's just under 1 in 1000 ppl.

I’ve not checked the veracity of that stat but it wouldn’t surprise me.

Look no further than lack of police detective resource, combined with limited court availability. The CPS are now extremely selective about major cases that they’ll take on, and they’ll pass on anything that they think isn’t an odds on winner. People don’t seem to realise the ****ing state of our justice system in this country at the minute.

I had a fraud squad officer tell me that they won't prosecute a fraud case unless the sum involved was £60,000.

It doesn't help that rape is THE hardest case to prove, it usually only involves two people and is one word against another with no witnesses.

Wouldn’t surprise me if that was an unwritten benchmark.

They’d be all over a dealer with £60k’s worth of gear though. Easy meat.

Exactly.

I was told the cost of jury trial is too prohibitive.
