Crime victims are being let down by police as new data shows just 3.7% of house raids and 6.6% of robberies result in a charge, devastating report reveals
Officers are 'missing opportunities' to catch suspects from the moment crimes are reported, it concludes. The latest Home Office figures show that just 3.7 per cent of burglaries, 4.2 per cent of thefts and 6.6 per cent of robberies result in a charge. Chief Inspector of Constabulary Andy Cooke (main) says these are 'not minor crimes' and they 'strike at the heart of how safe people feel in their own homes and communities'. He said the low charging rates were damaging confidence in the police and has ordered a 'back-to-basics' approach amid fears that sloppy investigations mean victims 'aren't getting the justice they deserve'. The low charging rates are 'unacceptable and unsustainable', according to a devastating audit by Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary. Its bombshell report comes amid increasing concern that police are putting too much focus on 'woke' issues and not enough on crimes that shatter people's lives.
