It is completely mad that petty problems are being recorded as crimes, a police chief has said.Sir David Thompson, the chief constable at West Midlands Police, told The Times that doing so was warping data and scaring members of the public.He claimed rates of violence against a person were higher in rural areas such as Warwickshire, West Mercia, Norfolk and Cumbria than in London due to forces strictly following rules for recording crime.
