Your detective in your city on that day may have been too busy, but that’s just an anecdote, not a survey of the thousands of cities and police departments and their response to home burglary footage.
- skhunted 3y agoThe majority of murders go unsolved. The vast majority of rapes go unsolved. Police regularly don’t even spend the money to process DNA samples. I’m not an expert on this topic but it seems to me that the police in big cities largely don’t do their job.
- concordDance 3y agoThe problems you mention are extremely hard. Rape is s notoriously hard crime to prove and murders are either done in gang neighbourhoods where there sre few cameras and people don't talk to police. I don't know of any actually actionable improvement ideas to improve solve rate.
- skhunted 3y agoI believe your knowledge of how police actually work is at odds with the reality of the situation. Your reference to "either done in gang neighboourhoods.." indicates that at least as it pertains to the U.S. you are ill informed. Police juke stats and in a number of urban centers are effectively a legalized gang.
- dylan604 3y ago> Your detective in your city on that day you must of have read over the "detectives"--pural--part of that sentence. I have had a burglary in one home, and then a few years later had a home invasion where the person was very obviously identified to the police. The responding officers were able to look him up, have a positive witness ID made, and then see that this was a "bad guy". No arrest made.
