Dan (dasy2k1@mastodonapp.uk)'s status on Tuesday, 01-Aug-2023 17:14:45 JST Dan @ChrisMayLA6 well I am freinds with a couple of serving police officers in my local force (WMP)
They are stretched so thin after overall decade of budget cuts that they barely have enough people to deal with the level of serious violent crime on and day to day basis. They would absolutely love to deal with shoplifters and ASB but they are too busy trying to deal with people who think it's normal to carry a machete to actually begin with the nonviolent crimes

Emeritus Prof Christopher May (chrismayla6@zirk.us)'s status on Tuesday, 01-Aug-2023 17:14:46 JST Emeritus Prof Christopher May Q. what exactly are the #police doing?
Just on 95% of all crimes in England & Wales in 2022/3 went unsolved resulting in over 2m crimes having no suspect identified & no investigation proceeding.
In nearly half of all neighbourhoods, no burglaries at all were solved in the three years to March 2023.
And we already know for sexual offences less than 4% reported result in a prosecution....
Crime rates are down, claims the Govt. but that still leaves the misery & insecurity of the unsolved!
