If you really want to know what happens to the crime figures, then have a look at this site.

The police have a proirity job - revenue collection - keeping the public safe seems secondary to that.

Crime has gone down significantly. What has gone up is the reporting of crime. So if the only connection to crime you have is through bottom end media, you will base your opnions on that.

Personally I have always said one route to happiness is to not buy the Express or the Mail. In fact don't watch news or stick to Radio 4 where you get the background Info first before any twisted opinions put forward to maximise corporate profits or a political agenda rather than inform.

Fox News and English Tabloids as good examples.

Graham, I am more a Sunday TImes and Private Eye man myself.

When I was a child, 30 odd years ago, I used to see bobbies on the beat all the time. I even knew my village bobby and he knew me and all the other kids.
These days you only see them when they have a crackdown on crime.

It is in the interests of the media to hype up anything that will make you fearful.
They are told to do that by governments, who then reduce your civil liberties by introducing 'restrictions of freedom laws' on the grounds of 'your safety'.

Then there is revenue from fines when those laws are broken.
