[QUOTE="Ranger Security Solutions, post: 7618006, member: 158492"] I'm sure that most of you are more than aware, but I want to spell it out for those that are not familiar with the affect of not reporting rural crime. When central government is allocating budgets to the different departments and each department sub-divides their budget to their different areas of responsibility, and it is then further sub-divided and allocated as is felt appropriate based on their remit, in this case the different police constabularies around the country, the sums are put together based on several factors - all revolving around facts and figures to ensure the tax-payers money is spent as logically, efficiently and fair for everyone concerned as much as possible (based on those facts and figures). If the police are not [U]officially[/U] aware of the severity of rural crime, because it has [U]not[/U] been reported, then in turn the police will not report the correct crime stats up to central government when they go cap in hand to the government for more cash. For example: If there are 100 actual crimes in one year in a constabularies jurisdiction, 70% reported in urban areas, and 30% taking place in rural areas; but only 10% of rural crime is reported - then that is 20% under-reported. And 20% not funded for the following year in the total budget. To break the example down further, that equals [B]67% of rural crime not reported[/B] and [B]67% not funded[/B] for in subsequent years. [ATTACH type="full"]968496[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]968497[/ATTACH] And we wonder why the problem is getting worse? When we are not reporting, and rural crime is a faint blip on the governments radar, and our funding goes elsewhere. Not reporting rural crime is counter-productive, and we're shooting ourselves in the foot. By including organisations such as the NFU and CLA, they can also raise awareness and lobby government (armed with the correct facts and figures), to bring about positive change. This will not change over-night. You may not get an actual response to reporting crime, but you should get a crime number - and those numbers all add up for future funding. And eventually, there will be enough bobbies with police cars, to turn up. [/QUOTE]
