Police have been exposed for the non-recording of crime. Naturally, the figures will look good if they don't record crimes.

The story of "Grandma B" has been raised in Parliament. This 84 year-old invalid has been subjected to a campaign of harassment by police officers and social workers for five years now. Thjey have committed dozens of criminal offences against her, none of which have been recorded, let alone investigated.
Police crime figures are fraudulent.
