An Acpo spokesperson said the organisation was clear about what information it required forces to provide, and anydiscrepancy in the figures should be addressed to the force in question.
If there is anydiscrepancy between the description in the database and that provided by the inspector, the system flags it automatically making it much harder to bribe the inspector to turn a blind eye.
But one will certainly not see any men suing over this apparent discrepancy because there are probably some very good reasons for it and it seems suing as a group is not something men do.
