Crime falls to new record low levels in England and Wales

[therealHJ]

The Crime Survey of England and Wales estimates are double those recorded by the police which suggests many crimes aren't reported or if they are then not recorded by the police.

Violent crime, public order offences and sexual offences are all up significantly due to a change in recording methodology so it is hard to determine what this means in reality

Crime falls to new record low levels in England and Wales

I would expect for a lot of reasons the Crime Survey and the official stats to differ. Not simply due to manipulation.

I don't know how you can form an intelligent view of the subject by relying on personal observation alone. If I did, I would certainly agree it is reducing.

What ever it means the UK is still one of the safest places to live in the entire world. Criminality will never be completely eradicated...there will always be cunts, but I believe there is no doubt we've seen a drop in criminal activity. Roun 'ere where I live, burglary used to be rife, but it's a rare event now. Street robbery around here is almost nil. Car theft is down. Violent crime is very low. Rural crime on the other hand round these parts has increased.

But there was far more crime around here, especially burglary and car theft in the 90s, then there is today.

I wouldn't be surprised, a lot of crimes were related to people stealing your stuff so they could sell it on, nowadays even mobile phones are so cheap they'll get fuck all for them.

Who's going to buy a stolen DVD payer down the pub when you can get a new one for 20 quid.

Precisely Colin. Electric goods are far cheaper now...easier to obtain. One main reason for the decline in crime.

Sexual & violent crime is not reducing, and in fact, the UK is one of the least 'safe' places in the developed world.

Car crime also.
