The clear-up rate for all recorded crimes was 49%, which matched the previous two years' figures, while the clear-up rate for non-sexual crimes of violence rose from 67% to 72%.
Police were driven back into the police stations, they're all filling in forms, they're worried about making arrests because they'll be prosecuted for having done something which is wrong and when they do make an arrest the clearuprate in London for example now has halved in the last 12 months, halved, so when they make their arrests they don't get them convicted.
