Police confirm they have given up 07:39 - Oct 17 with 26146 views | blue_oyster | We will now be left to fight the evils of everyday crime on our own, as the police have finally confirmed what they have been doing for years -- ignoring the millions of crimes committed on our streets, leaving the old and vulnerable even more exposed and ensuring that our once civil society is over. Now they can justify even more their reasons for standing around with machine guns to 'protect us from terrorism'. What has gone wrong? https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/oct/16/low-level-crimes-to-go-uninvesti | |

Police confirm they have given up on 17:23 - Oct 17 by Darth_Koont | Oh dear. Whether petty crime is prioritized by police or more importantly the government that forces them to prioritize through limited funding, it's not about conflating meanings of words in order to create your "point". Petty just means a lesser category of CRIME compared to ooh, I don't know rape, murder, violent assault, armed robbery etc. |
Police in recent record numbers have ignored this for a long time. Nothing to do with cuts. | |

How do you know it's nothing to do with cuts? Or funding in general? The type and complexity of crime has risen across the board even if the overall incidence may be down. But that still demands more funding not the same or less. If not, then the police need to prioritize more serious crimes. Same increase in the type and complexity of treatments has done similar to the NHS as well. Funding has even risen but still nothing like keeping pace. That's why they've had to cut back on less voter-friendly care like mental health ... leaving the police among others to pick up much of the burden. | |

We can only look at the facts. Crime much lower when a smaller police force was doing its job properly. Crime has steadily risen despite much larger force failing to prevent crime. | |

Are you really saying that the increasing scope and complexity of police work isn't a fact?!! Also, purely as a matter of interest, which two moments in time are you comparing? Then we can look at the actual stats instead. | |

You are going to have to back that up with numbers, given your record we cannot just accept some vague notion that has no stated time periods to measure between. | |

Police confirm they have given up on 11:27 - Oct 17 by blue_oyster | Try and prevent crime by patrols. Very effective, and they've deliberately stopped doing this. |
No. This is NOT the way police officers want to do their job. They are under funded by the government, consequently under staffed, over worked and disillusioned. As already pointed out, officers are having to spend the majority of their time attending trivial 'Facebook' crime, domestic disputes and crimes such as cyber crime, which didn't even exist years ago. Suffolk as an example, have cut staffing levels to the bone with hundreds less officers than in years gone by. This makes it very difficult for old fashioned but effective 'roving' patrols. Don't blame police officers who are doing an extremely difficult job, you might be grateful for them one day. Blame the government and spending cuts. | | | |

I'm well aware that the police don't want to patrol. They stopped doing it a long time ago, without any change in legislation, and with record numbers. So the cuts argument doesn't wash I'm afraid. The police have changed through their own choice. | |

Think you misunderstood , that's exactly what they want to do - general patrol and investigate crime. Not sure why you are so angry at police officers, they are doing their best with poor resources | | | |

Sorry if I wasn't clear, my point was that he said that police officers had deliberately stopped patrolling. They haven't, it is a government decision via cuts. | | | |

Well logically oyster's argument is right if they reduced patrols pre cuts. | |

Which can only lead us to the conclusion that our governments of recent decades have been liberal, and not tough on crime. | |

Our governments of recent decades have been liberal? I'm still not sure where you post from but it is clearly not the UK. Even the coalition that included the Liberal Democrats wasn't liberal. | |

Weak on law and order, a left-wing education establishment and the doctrine of equality now installed in all parts of society. Which bit of liberal don't you get? | |

OK, that's what it's like where you live, but here we have an austerity regime that isn't working and is costing just as much as a more liberal approach would, police powers that are severe and sometimes abused (see this morning's Scotsman for a weird detention story and speak to anyone who has exercised their right to peaceful protest and been 'kettled'), a bunfight over education that has seen far too much spent on methods to exclude those at the bottom of the ladder from a fair chance of a good education and...wait a minute - you have a problem with equality???? | |

Of course, by 'austerity' you mean 'record amount of public spending'. Do you ever both to check what you say? | |
