Crime figures don't tell the full story

Dear Editor,
Presumably these incidents get recorded, but what goes unreported, and
therefore unrecorded, because the public (the tax payer and therefore
the paymaster of this lot) don't feel there is any point doing it
because they know they are going to get little response or action? |

Dear Ed,
Lazarus obviously needs new specs.
When I read the original story it said 'Home Office statistics published on 17 July show there were 15,133 fewer crimes in Kent between April 2007 and March 2008 compared to the previous year - an overall fall of 10.3 per cent'.
I can't see the phrase 'figures published by the Police or Kent Police'.
Hey-ho! Some only read what they want to.

Dear Ed,
I always feel that it is important to keep a good skeptical eye on figures handed out by administrations. For example, they will almost NEVER claim that their policy is failing, now will they?
I also pay attention to other news items that circulate; for example, the person who had thier garage robbed in Hawkinge, but the Police would ot attend because it was not connected to the house. Now, was a crime committed or not?
Standing by the point made,
Lazarus.
Dear Ed,
I forgot to mention, my specs are fine, thanks you very much Nance.
Lazarus
