Police abandon investigations into almost four crimes every minute.
There were 2,040,976 offences reported in England and Wales in the year to June where no suspect was identified – equivalent to 5,592 every single day, or 3.8 per minute.
Out of the 5.3 million crimes logged by police in England and Wales in the year, 38.6 per cent were closed as 'investigation complete – no suspect identified'.
The figures showed only 3 per cent of rapes reported to police led to a suspect being charged.
The respective number for 'violence against the person' was 6.3 per cent, robbery 8.1 per cent and theft 7.6 per cent, including just 4.8 per cent of house burglaries.
A further 679,802 cases where victims still wanted to seek justice were abandoned due to 'evidential difficulties'. Investigations into another 1.3million crimes ended in cases where the victims no longer supported police inquiries.
Only 402,692 reported crimes led to a suspect receiving a charge or a court summons – 7.6 per cent of the total.
The proportion charged was up from 6.7 per cent in the previous 12 months but is still far below the 15 per cent from a decade ago.
The charge rate has risen slowly from a low of 5.4 per cent in 2022 despite the previous Conservative government's massive investment in police recruitment. In March 2024, the number of full-time equivalent police officers hit a record 147,745, but the total has since fallen by more than 1,300.
Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is set to outline plans to shake-up police forces in a bid to improve performance...
She has also warned top officers that members of the public who make 'perfectly legal' remarks online should not be investigated, amid widespread concern that politically motivated complaints are eroding free speech.

It is a lot safer to spend your time knocking on the doors of people who have “offensive” ideas that people who make their way in life using force and coercion.
I wonder how long before a few people start handling the problem on their own. Maybe they are too far gone.
WW I and WW II were tremendous bloodlettings of British manhood. A complete replacement is going on.
Donut sales are skyrocketing.
Plus, London’s mayor and the PM have said that r*pes by the imported savages are just cutting up by oppressed. So, why bother?
Unfortunately, the lax policing existed before the stupid hate speech investigations.
On this side of the pond, when I saw this post by SPOX Karoline Leavitt re ‘crime drop’
https://x.com/PressSec/status/2003822384860856800
I had to LOL:
No one has ever confirmed that lefty jurisdictions - let alone patel’s fibby - are properly reporting crimes even today.
Thus, Leavitt is touting fake crime stats to boost POTUS’ image based upon the left’s fudging of the numbers.
That’s GOT to have some of them raging.
Can’t wait to see what they do with crime in the runup to midterms...
I’ll give you one thing: you are relentless.
(just hope you are paying Johnrob for the privilege)
And Chrisrob.....all of ‘em.
Investigations are a “whites only” thing.
Elaborate.
They’re not rapists:
They’re Undocumented boyfriends.
only 3 per cent of rapes reported to police led to a suspect being charged
Charge rate would go up to 75% if their was mandatory DNA tagging for all “immigrants” or “guests”.
When armed carjackings are classified “Theft”...
You should change you name to “cyni_cal869”. Or maybe “Farci_cal869”.

Maybe I did ;-)
“I wonder how long before a few people start handling the problem on their own.”
Most people think that cops, courts, and prisons were invented to protect decent people from evil people.
It’s actually the reverse that’s true.

You got me.
