Crime figures
artdoc October=1993

The Metropolitan Police writes of one in eight crimes (12.2%)
compared to a national average of 2.38%. This procedure called
`no criming' was 1.5% in Kent, 3.4% in Greater Manchester, 1.8%
in West Midlands and 2.2% in Merseyside. The Met is to follow the
Kent practice now that Paul Condon is the Commissioner, with
clear-up rate in London will fall from 16 to 14 per cent. A
senior detective commented: `there is pressure in some areas to
make the statistics look good. The more "no crimes", the better
your clear-up rate will be'. Police Review, 5.3.93.
