UK Police improve crime clear up rates by pretending it didn't happen.

Here's another case of making your own performance look better and at the same time giving complete dissatisfaction to your customers whilst not performing at all. It sounds like something from Alice In Wonderland doesn't it, and of course it is, or the UK as we sometimes call it. It's all to do with government targets of course and the cheating that goes on to meet them.

The UK police can improve their clear up rates and reduce figures for the number of crimes committed at a stroke by the simple expedient of declaring the hard to solve crimes, such as vicious beatings where the perpetrator hasn't given themselves up, as a "No Crime".

No paperwork. No awkward questions. Just a dissatisfied public who are one more step away from trusting the police and the things they say about themselves.
