The proportion of crimes solved by police in England and Wales has fallen to the lowest level recorded, according to Home Office data.
In the 12 months to March, 7.8% of offences saw someone charged or summonsed, down from 9.1% a year ago. The data began to be compiled in 2015. It comes after Metropolitan Police Commissioner Cressida Dick acknowledged too many offences were being left unsolved, in a speech about the future of policing. She said sifting through vast amounts of phone and computer data was partly responsible and called for investment in resources, technology and expertise to drive up clear-up rates. The Home Office said work to improve crime recording by police forces has "both increased the volume forces are dealing with and changed the crime mix to include more complex cases, such as sexual offences and domestic abuse, which can be more challenging to resolve". It added: "At the same time, while more crimes are now being recorded, in a growing proportion of cases the victim either doesn't support further action or police are unable to contact them." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-49029545 ---- There is a prompt to check the figures in your area on the page.

Wow. 38% rise in Norfolk. I don't think it's a coincidence that crimes have risen while police numbers continue to fall.

As of they're trying to blame crimes predominantly against women ...
The onus is not on the abused party in a relationship to press charges now, that changed years ago. :/
