There are TWO sets of figures - the ONS ones are what people claim has happened, and the police figures (suitably massaged !) are "reported crimes"
andrew Crime seems to be on the rise to me.

Stats are stupid as they are swindled.

Interesting that (despite claims by the police that crime would rocket if their numbers were cut !) crime overall falls yet again.

There is just one "blip" -

"The number of sexual offences recorded by police increased by 17%, which the ONS said "is likely to be partly due to a continuation of a 'Yewtree effect', whereby a greater number of victims have come forward to report historical sexual offences to the police".

There was a 122% rise in the number of historical sex crimes - those which happened more than 20 years ago - recorded by police in the year to September 2013.

This followed the Savile revelations which came to light the previous October. There was a 35% rise in sex crimes that had happened between one and 20 years ago and an 11% increase in crimes that took place in the past 12 months, according to police figures".

Interesting that ... or maybe not? .... if you encourage people to come forward with spurious claims that don't need any evidence - then they do LOL !

In The Know (as always) Four police forces showed an increase in overall crime. Northumbria, City of London and British Transport Police reported a 1% rise, while Kent showed an 8% increase, but this is believed to be due to a change in recording practices.
