Seriously though, these are pretty standard figures. By the time you weed out "not in the public interest" cases, cases where the victim has changed their mind and withdrawn a complaint, cases where minor technicalities in procedure render evidence inadmissable (while making no difference to the fact that the guy in court did it) and cases where someone screwed up bigtime (I'm sure it does happen
) you're left with a shoplifter and a 90 year old who didn't pay her TV licence 
The CPS do drop a lot of cases that leave us grunts itching our scalps and "narrowing the justice gap", ie making the difference between the number of crimes reported and the number of persons convicted smaller, is a BIG issue at the moment. As it bloody ought to be

Thats a good point.
The concept of justice and the practical application of justice have little to do with each other it seems.
Magnifying glasses are used to scrutiny minute details missing the point that the scrote was caught with the weapon in his hand dripping with the victims blood and the victims wallet in the other hand.

g spot on mate Personally I don't know how you guys manage to keep the faith. In my case the whole deal was royally screwed up by the ID parade staff, one went long term sick swiftly followed by another then 7 months later my son ws allowed to see photographs of the scote taken at kindergarten. Th officer I/C the case and his sergeant were gutted and put in a complaint.

Thames Valley Police the sweetest smelling and most under performing police force has over 10,000 unsolved burglaries, yet they had to give £3,000,000 of their speeding fines back to Tony Blair cos they could not spend it fast enuff, well what can you say as long as they get they revenue from these cameras regardless that since 1993 they have reversed trends and fatalities are going up. Now there are plans to introduced micro-chipped cars so that we automatically get "NIP'ed" When you approach the police them you just get some "glib" comment in that unmistakeable Policemans attitude "the Plod Syndrome" Resently there has been an job advert for the TVP Chief Plod for some one to help fine new ways of fighting crime, whats wrong with the old ways is it perhaps because the presant batch of fast track Chief Plods and alike lack the talant because they are just cultured nodding dogs there to do as their told.
