If someone burgles your house and you call the police. The standard reply from 'plod' is. 'You will get the insurance money for it'. Is somebody is assaulted they say 'Unless we see them doing it, we cant do anything about it'.
If the burglary involved a priceless painting or the assault was likely to end up in a murder case. There would be more 'brass plod' around your house than in the local scrap yard.
I have read something similar regarding the lack of reporting. However, surveys are conducted to kinda make up for it.
About half of England's burglaries are home invasions compared to a tenth of the USA's being home invasions. Home invasions also include rape, murder, etc., which get treated more seriously.
We have more gun violence in general but a correlation can be made that burglars are less likely to pay a visit while we're home.

The BCS (British Crime Survey) shows the same percentage drop in burglaries, as the recorded crime figures. I see no reason for people to lie on a survey.. :unsure:
Also, as Manker said, to claim on the insurance after a burglary, you need to have a police crime number.
@busyman - I think we are now in sort of agreement! ;)

I take it you mean "you've" in a plural type of way.

So the fact you need a crime number for any insurance claim didn't come into your reasoning at all.
F*ng Crime Number.:ph34r: I cant even find a wee pink off the shoulder number for this wedding I'm going to.:rolleyes:
The last crime I reported, stolen Strimmer, the police were not interested in the number of the strimmer. His reply was your insurance will pay for it. Considering you pay the first £50/100 pound of any claim it is not worth the bother.
@Barbara:) People dont lie?:ohmy:

I don’t think that any one could be charged with treason for this bombing as it was not a political or state target but if it had of been aimed at government or Royal family. Then they could be charged with treason, if they were the sentence would be death by hanging and it would probably have be public execution. If the government wanted to avoid this they would have to change the law

Does it have to be a political or royal target then? Isn't waging war against your own country treason?
The government would have to re-introduce the death penalty for treason.
