Does anyone really believe there is no link between the cut in police numbers and the rise in crime? This is what is known as a negative correlation, but perhaps our esteemed former Home Secretary hasn’t heard of that. By that logic we might as well have no police at all. She also no doubt denies the link between austerity and rise in crime. Surely cuts in youth services, support for struggling families, also contribute? Shouldn’t we be trying to prevent increase in crime not just respond to it? I’m sure we’ve all got stories where the police haven’t responded to reports of car crime or burglary, because they are so overstretched. We should be campaigning to restore and increase police numbers overall.
