What if 75% of crimes aren’t getting reported now because the police can’t be bothered?

He’s covered that. By looking at crime reporting stats, the crime survey and other data like health reports it paints a fairly accurate picture.
 
There's nothing to stop someone reporting a crime. 'You cannot demand a police investigation for a crime you want to report, but you have the right to report a crime to the police or other authorities.'

Yes it is, and the perceived immunity from prosecution for stealing less than £200 of goods will be removed when the Crime and Policing bill is passed into law.

Nice one Kier I'm sure you'll agree <ok>

Totally agree, all crime should be looked at.

The tories cutting 40,000 police officers had anything to do with this? Everything is Starmers fault though as the Daily Mail tells many.

Hopefully this government will sort out the absolute Tory clusterfck they inherited.

It’s true about the police and the shortage of public services in Covid were noticeable but to be fair and balanced to the Tories, the violence reduction units, using a public health approach have done well to get crime down. Fair play to Labour for keeping them when often they get changed just for the politics. There has been a shortage in youth programmes however which is being addressed through the Young Futures mission.
Interesting as Reform are saying ‘no one else cares about crime ‘ and ‘people arent safe’ yet a murdoch paper is saying things are less dangerous and it appears immigrants haven’t made us less safe. It appears he isn’t telling the truth.

And there has been significant downturn in rehabilitation opportunities in prison. Cuts to prisoner education etc. It creates a cycle. A prisoner less able to read is les able to comply and manage things like housing or find meaningful employment. Somethings working though on violence as it always dangerous.

Rehabilitation is the key.

Good to see Timsons now involved in this and it needs building upon.

Surely you should be tackling it at source not after the fact, how do you stop children getting into crime in the fist place should be main priority.

Another thing I would love to see is HMRC working with police full-time going after crime bosses, use the tax system to see if they have paid enough taxes for their living expenses, if they run a garage or barber shop are they making enough money for cars and houses they own. They would either have to put more tax through books or live a more frugal life style.
