        @BBCBreaking Due to the sacking of 8% of the crime recorders as a cost saving measure?

        @BBCBreaking Maybe that's because there were fewer police to record them! Can't be on front line & recording in office at same time.

        @BBCBreaking and how much of that is due to police making no charges or failing to follow up when informed of crimes?

        @bbcbreaking That does not prove that offences fell by 8% but merely that they merely recorded 8% less offences.

        @BBCBreaking Probably because we don't even bother to report crime anymore as the response is zippo!

        @BBCBreaking people don't report it as much and cops record it the way that suits. Crime should never be a statistic

        @BBCBreaking apparently recorded crime fell by 11% in 2012. Remind me, LC, why exactly do you need to save a further £220m from legal aid?
