Our thanks to Dick for this piece on the BBC website. A spokeswoman from Rape Crisis is quoted as if the organization is a reliable source of information rather than a reliable source of propaganda. How do you know a feminist is lying? Two surefire clues:
- her lips move
- she starts a sentence with “Successive studies have shown…”
This is one way, of course, in which the figures for false accusations of rape are kept artificially low: a subtle use of language allows them to reclassify many away.

Asking a feminist for accurate crime statistics is like asking a crack addict not to spend the £10 note you’ve just given them for food on more crack. That is to say, you can ask, but it ain’t gonna happen.

With all the entertaining but highly unrealistic TV Dramas about Crime it is perhaps not surprising the cosseted readers of BBC and Grauniad think such stories make sense. I wish there was a way of publishing the text of this Blog entry http://archive.li/Ns35n of a serving Police Officer previously noted on this site. It exactly describes my experiences in working in the chaotic communities that are the focus of Policing and Social services etc.
There “high attrition rate” reflects precisely the situations in this Blog. With the majority of Rape accusations not proceeded with and recorded as such in a variety of ways. It seems Lincolnshire’s force has the time and inclination to investigate proportionately more than most because, as they say, they get proportionately fewer accusations! Many forces will simply record reports that prove incredible as “incidents”
“Equally a police force with a low level of ‘no crimes’ might be indicative of a recording practice by which reports are retained as incidents only until a fuller investigation has taken place.”
So in fact Lincolnshire takes a higher proportion of its reports as worth recording as crimes until investigation shows them not to be crimes. Whereas Cumbria may well record a high proportion as only incidents until there is actual evidence is found of a potential crime. So the feminists are here turning on a force that believes the complainant until investigation proves the falsity or veracity of the complaint ! Doing what the feminists want and then being lambasted for it.

“Doing what the feminists want…” But that isn’t enough, of course. Feminist are only happy when they also get the results that they want – which, always, are the results they have forecast.

Isn’t Cumbria about to promote a controversial, and reportedly not terribly competent, female to the post of Chief Constable?

Oh, those poor Lincolnshire Police!
The little dears…
– How my heart goes out to them.
They are ashamed and embarrassed.
They really SO want to report that they have this really Awful Rape Crisis on their hands but those wretched Lincolnshire MEN just won’t do the right thing (as is their duty, to run through the county’s Fair Maidens, a rapin’ an’ a pillagin’ as they go)
Some times I despair of my own sex, who don’t seem to realise they have a beholden responsibility to man-up and do the wrong thing.
What is to be done to right this wrong?
Just have to make the figures up I suppose.
Don’t see anything else for it….

How many proven false accusations of rape were recorded as crimes, and how many of them were brought to court? Just asking..

The famous de Freitas case was immediately recorded as a rape when the woman claimed she was raped, and left as a rape when it turned out that the woman had lied. The accused asked the police to alter their records, and they refused. So, that’s one “rape” that definitely never happened.
The situation is now corrupt to the point where police are more interested in supporting political correctness than recording facts, and individual officers more interested in an extra pip on their shoulders, than in supporting innocent men.

‘A third of adult rapes reported to Lincolnshire Police in a year were recorded as “no crime”, figures show.‘
How the BBC wants us to see things: the alleged rapes are a fact denied by ‘The Police’ even though they have been investigated before being classified as ‘no crime’.
How feminists think (I use the word ironically) (1):
‘Katie Russell, from Rape Crisis, said: “It seems highly unlikely that of those that do get reported [in Lincolnshire] a third are not pursuable and no crime has taken place.‘
A cynic might observe that what the woman is actually saying is ‘I cannot accept that my insane view of the world is not real’.
How feminists think (2):
‘Det Supt Hatton: “In order to classify something as ‘no crime’ there must be some credible evidence – rather than we just believe it didn’t happen – to suggest to the contrary.”
Ms Russell said this made her “deeply sceptical”.‘
I refer you to my observation immediately above, with the further observation that what the Detective Superintendent is actually saying is that there must be credible evidence of the alleged assailant’s innocence for the accusation to be recorded as ‘no crime’, meaning, in a time where the presumption of innocence has effectively been abolished, that where there is not credible evidence of his innocence the alleged crime is investigated as though the accusation were genuine, which cannot be true in every instance.
The number of alleged rapes (BBC take note) recorded as ‘no crime’ does not necessarily include all of those rape and sexual assault accusations that are false. It is a scandal that a third of the alleged rapes reported to Lincolnshire Police are recorded as ‘no crime’ although not for the reason Mizzz Russell and the BBC believe.

A third is well in line with a conservative estimate of the proportion of ‘false rape’ — that is, formal reports to police that are false, albeit not necessarily, and usually not malicious.
If police were freer to record according to what they actually believe, it would probably be over 50%; and not unlikely 70%, judging by what Met Police rape-investigating officers revealed in anonymous survey by Ian Blair.
