Over a million crimes not investigated is actually, if you listen carefully, “not fully investigated”. Some worrying cases & some admissions of failings but this is rationing of police services because there is too much crime & not enough police officers. Downward spiral.

10 years ago, if there was a series of offences in a short time, community officers or crime squad would mount an operation to catch them in the act. Little or no proactive capability now. Sadly, in many cases there are no witnesses, no CCTV, no forensics, so nothing can be done.
