Crime Of The Century - A Chilling Look At Crime Statistics In The UK


The review – led by Jil Matheson – the National Statistician will look for cost effective ways to improve the coverage and coherence of crime statistics.


Jil Matheson


Crime statistics are made up of crimes recorded by the police and the British Crime Survey is based on interviews with the public about their experiences.


Theresa May said: 'Any reductions in crime are welcome, however levels are still too high and we know these statistics only offer a partial picture about the level of crime. More needs to be done to bring crime down and we need to take bold action to restore public trust in crime statistics. That is why I have asked the National Statistician to lead a review and


why we are moving the publication of crime statistics out of the Home Office to an independent body. Improving public trust and confidence in crime statistics is crucial if we are to improve transparency and empower local communities to hold authorities to account.'


Better information The review aims to give the public a clearer picture of crime levels, including:


• ensuring definitions of crimes and anti-social behaviour are aligned with the priorities and concerns of local communities • improving transparency and trust in the crime data which is collated and published • recommending how gaps in the statistics could be addressed • advising which independent body should publish crime statistics in future


The review will report back by the end of April 2011 with any changes implemented from April 2012.


On our site at http://thinbluelineuk.blogspot.com we have written extensively about how top UK police officers "Cook the books of Crime" for financial gain, bonus payments, political and career advancement. This "Conspiracy to Deceive" has gone on for too many years, and the news that Theresa May has appointed the National Statistician to clean up the mess is most welcome. Our concern is that the books are opened fully for Jil Matheson so she may see for herself the extent that the figures have been manipulated down the years.


It is a popular view that when the lid is finally prized off the crime statistics and detections can of worms, and the Top Cop pay scandal associated with it, the mess that will spill out
