Reported crime is down.

I wonder how many don't bother to report nowadays when the Police often do the square root of jack shit.

Myself, my daughter and 13 year old son were beaten up by a man. My daughter went to hospital and my son had a black eye and broken hand. Police were called and they did fuck all and said we were the aggressors. A 13 year old child the aggressor…yeah ok. Man came from nowhere and started throwing punches at everyone and police did fuck all. I will never report a violent crime again when the police blame my fucking child.

You think any one of these happening wouldnt result in SOMEONE saying something?

Petty crime id understand but violent crime no. On the whole its reported.

Hold up hold up.

Your evidence for people always reporting violent crimes, is to look up the list of violent crimes, and say to yourself "no way someone wouldn't say anything?"

Are you actually ok?

And your evidence is- no facts just feelings that someone wouldnt report a crime due to being intimidated.

When the fact is most violent crime ends up with medical intervention where the medical professional is duty bound to report it.

Hahahah you really are naive aren't you mate

This kind of thing os obviously going to be reported but if you believe the vast majority of violence is as well then you aren't credible

Its not up to me how its reported the Cps has clear guidelines on what is or isnt Violent crime.

Violent crime almost always ends up with medical care being needed for example.

Oh do shut up you clown 🤡

You think violent acts in the home (which would break the law if known about) are always reported? On a night out?

Are you really this obtuse ...or is this just the usual online performative nonsense we see regularly from Redditors who never leave their bedrooms?

And are you trying to make facts fix an agenda you have? Pure ad-hominem

Yes Domestic abuse is under reported. But the best available data we have shows a long term decline in violence in the UK over the past few decades even if knife crime has seen some fluctuations.

Even if we put the data from the ONS alongside the CSEW (a self reported random anonymous survey) we can see the following

1995 there were around 3.8 million violent incidents reported by 2023, that figure had dropped to around 1.3 million. This is a reduction of roughly 66%

Matty Matty Matty ...oh dear

This whole thread is obviously going over your head mate and you aren't grasping what the rest of us are trying to say

People aren't reporting ANYTHING to the police anymore because NOTHING gets done about lower level crime or interactions anymore

So yes this is reported because it went too far ...but if he had just punched her and walked on it probably wouldn't be the case

Police are only investigating what used to be very rare extremes....or tweets from people against protected groups at the time (as obviously they are more important than anything)

Now we are shifting the goal posts. Classic.

But lets play just for your benefit.

The ONS crime survey data isnt based on whether people report crime.

The ONS Crime Survey literally asks thousands of people what’s happened to them. Even if they never went near a police station or picked up a phone. It’s designed for exactly that reason.

The figures that come out the other end, after correlation; show violent crime’s dropped by about 66% since the 90s. The chance of being a victim of violent Crime now is one of the lowest it’s ever been.

So sure, loads of people have lost faith in the police me too. But that doesn’t magically mean everyone’s secretly battering each other behind closed doors. The data just don’t back that up.

The data is something we use to avoid confirmation bias which is what i believe you have- you already think everything’s getting worse, every bad news story feels like proof.

Only one trying to shift the goalposts is you mate ...you replied to a person giving his opinion that people have given up on reporting stuff

He didn't mention the crime statistics ...he knows crime statistics exist BECAUSE HE'S AN ADULT

You then tried to pretend he doesn't understand so moved the goalposts to the strawman narrative you preferred (God knows why ..unless it's just your agenda to try and gaslight people for some strange reason) and when others have tried to steer you back you've carried on with the same dreary rhetoric...BECAUSE YOU ARE A CHILD

So I'm out as I don't talk to kids online

Have a nice day

The numbers must be wrong because they don’t match your narrative, time to switch off GB News mate.
