HyveUp: UK Crime Maps Down, Stress Goes Up?

  • crimeanalyst · 1 month ago
    I agree that the media distorts the real picture of crime for its own ends. However, the Home Office admits that for overall crime only 38% of the public now report incidents (British Crime Survey). Frontline police confirm this on our sites. Only a fraction of crime is now reported. So it would be wrong to place too much reliance on the super sophisticated crime mapper software. It is an excellent tool, but as the saying goes, "garbage in - garbage out". The Government have been caught out too many times on statistical manipulation. They will use the police recorded crime as theire headliner...if you knew the truth you might not vote for them next time.
