SNFLARTUZ - crime figures ..

You have to understand that you just cannot pick which figures fit your particular argument....... for instance

"Violent crime in the three months to the end of June increased by 6% on the same period last year, according to quarterly Home Office figures.
But crime overall fell by 2%, the figures for England and Wales showed.

The Home Office said the figures for violent offences - up from 301,100 to 318,200 - reflected improved crime recording and more proactive policing.

Annual crime figures published in July indicated one million violent offences in 2004-5 - up 7% on the previous year.

The 318,200 violent offences, including murder, serious wounding and other life-threatening crimes, in the second quarter of 2005, also represented a rise of more than 30,000 from the 284,900 recorded in the first quarter


So overall crime is down BUT ...... violent crime is up ! ! !

Get it ??? ... violent crime is what people care about most (at the moment)
