Note

A series of background briefings on the policy issues in the May 2015 UK General Election.

Summary

"The fact that reductions in crime have occurred against a background of significant reductions in police headcount – and that they are seen in both recorded crime numbers and in victimization counts – suggest that there has been an improvement in the way that the police are operating. In addition, more general trends suggest that crime would be falling anyway, due to secular trends that are seen both in the UK and overseas."--Page 9.
