Crime falls to lowest level since 1981

Crime falls to lowest level since 1981 - Crime, UK - The Independent

This rather kicks in the head the mystery interview I was supposed to have given to the Express and Echo. I did tell them that demography remains the biggest single variable affecting crime figures, but there lies the problem of academics and their relationship with the media. the media tend to leave the boring bits out! The Independent should note that the recession may have started, but that the cuts havent just yet. The figures for next year will actually demonstrate whether there is any increase in property crime consequent upon an increase in poverty. Patience, media folk, patience!
