“The reported crime figures from the ONS today show that
crime overall is down, but I would question whether this is a true reflection of
reality” asks Diane James MEP, the UKIP Home Affairs
spokesman.
“Given that media coverage over the last year has highlighted falling
crime statistics, voters will be left wondering how accurate these figures
really are. In trying to see a silver lining it would appear to be good news
that overall crime is down in today's crime survey, but the reduction is in fact
marginal.
“What is of far more concern and indeed is deeply shocking is the
incredible increase in crimes against the person and in particular violence,
especially against women.
