Sorry Durbs, totally invalid.
Its not the job of police to prevent crimes - there are not enough of them for that.
Their job is to deal with the crime-de-jour, and to make certain figures look better, I was told as much when I asked a cop in the street (a rare sight, I thought that they only exsisted in cars or police stations these days) if something was going to be done about the number of cyclists who run red lights.
He wasnt interested and even went so far as to say nothing would be done as its not a priority.
So even reporting that at a certain area there is a common occurance of a crime is not interesting to them.
The fact is that due to politically correct policies, people who should not be police are allowed and even encouraged to be police.
