Credit Crunch Crime Wave 1 Year, 4 Months ago Karma: 0  
Hi,

well I suppose it was always going to happen. With the number of recorded burglaries up by 4% we're now into a 'Credit Crunch Crime Wave'. Given that only about 40% of burglary is recorded by the police, one would expect such figures to be taken with a pinch of salt whether they go up or down. Perhaps we (or our media) just naturally plump for a boom or bust, all or nothing view of the world.

Anyway, here it is:
news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/the_daily_politics/8014496.stm

Enjoy - and please post any similar examples of quality journalism!

Cheers,
Harry
