Sir – In today’s national papers, it was revealed that a fifth of crimes are ignored by police. In today’s The Oxford Times (May 1), it was stated that 50 per cent more drivers were caught speeding.
Would one be cynical in thinking these statistics may be linked? One is easy revenue earning while the other requires some work.
Could this attitude have any effect on the general public’s perception of the police force in general?
