Burglary has become decriminalised in some parts of the country..

failure to stop burglars threatens the police and public 'bond of trust'..

Police have failed to solve a single burglary in neighbourhoods across nearly half of England and Wales in the past three years, amid warnings the offence is being decriminalised.

An analysis of police data from 30,100 neighbourhoods found that in 48.2 per cent, no break-ins had been solved in the three years ending March 2023.

It comes ahead of an official report by Andy Cooke, His Majesty's chief inspector of constabulary, who has warned the failure to stop burglars and thieves threatens the police's bond of trust with the public.

More than 80 burglaries remained unsolved over the three years in each of the three worst neighbourhoods in Hampshire, south Yorkshire and south-east London.

...

Rick Muir, director at the Police Foundation, Britain's independent police thinktank, said they demonstrated police had a 'long way to go' to restore public confidence after a collapse in national charging rates for burglary, down from one in 14 (6.7 per cent) in 2016 to less than one in 25 (3.9 per cent) in 2022.

'It is fair to say that in some parts of the country, there are some crime types – in this case, burglary – that have become decriminalised because there is absolutely no consequence to committing the crime

...

victim said he will never trust South Yorkshire Police again over the way they handled a £10,000 burglary at his garage in Doncaster.

The man and his son caught the burglars red-handed but when they rang 999 the police failed to turn up in time to arrest the intruders.

A Home Office spokesperson said: 'According to the Crime Survey for England and Wales domestic burglary is down 51% since 2010.

That’s because the British police have much more serious crimes to investigate. An example Yorkshire police arrested an autistic teenaged girl for the hate crime of telling a policewoman she looked like her lesbian aunt.

They went “woke” years ago when I lived there in the 90s. BBC was always screaming about “institutional racism”.

Now they go after people who silently pray outside abortion clinics and people who say mean things on the internet....among many other absurd things.

Could be that if the police don’t show up, there is no burglary recorded.
Could be that when they do show up, the burglary is classified as trespassing.

But wait. The UK police WILL take swift action when the case is serious. Here’s an example. An autistic girl was arrested and hauled off to jail after remarking that a female cop looked like a lesbian.

Once government disarms society, all of society is then open to expanded criminal behavior.

Yes, but they can send 50 cops to attack and subdue an autistic girl who said that a cop looked like a lesbian nana of hers.

In a great many situations (such as burglary and theft) I consider local police to be basically secretaries. If you notify them of a crime, they show up, they take notes, they go away. I’m not sure I see the point.

When DAs and judges do nothing the police have little incentive to act.
