Let's work from this as an assumption for now.
Next step: Hard to tell if people gave up on reporting stuff because they don't think the police will try or because the police are unable to solve most of the incidents even if they did try.
Seriously though, how are the police supposed to solve most random break-in smash-and-grabs or stolen bike cases? What's the ask here? Constant surveillance of everywhere? Something close-to but less than that? Batman?
- s1artibartfast 5y agoI’m not saying that they can, or even should. I’m simply making the point that property crime may not be going down. Perhaps people have a valid concern about crime independent of trends that Spurs a desire for these types of services. Maybe this isn’t the solution, but I think it is unfair to call people batshit because they are tired or scared of having their property broken into, even if it is less than the 90’s
