1 week agoPolice slammed as more than 285,000 crimes were not recorded last year
More than 285,000 crimes went unrecorded by police last year, new research has found. Watchdog His Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire and Rescue Services (HMICFRS) found 94.8 per cent of crimes were recorded by forces in England and Wales in the year to March 31, While this is up from up from 80.5 per cent in 2014, the number of anti-social behaviour offences being officially documented were unacceptably low, HMICFRS said.
