Appalling (Telegraph, £), but an utterly predictable consequence of the feminisation of the police force. Every profession which has become feminised has become more costly and less efficient and effective than before.
Over 147,000 people accused of offences in the year to March were given community resolutions, which don’t result in a criminal record. Elsewhere we learn that police have all but given up trying to stop shoplifters, with the obvious result that it’s becoming ever more common.

I’m in two minds about this. For in the current state if those accused of sex crimes, and therefore presumed guilty simply by accusation, don’t end up dragged through courts and end up on a “register” (even if not convicted) for years, it may be a good thing? Though to be honest overall I suspect the main beneficiaries of such a policy will be women, given that the police, CPS and Courts have been instructed to go lightly on women. It remains policy to do away with Women’s prisons altogether!

A day after hot air from Mrs. Balls about the lack of attention paid to shoplifting by Police, she cancels a scheme to tackle just such crimes. Maybe its me but perhaps its because many shoplifters are women or to free up police time to trawl the internet for misogyny “hate incidents”?Government scraps scheme that forced shoplifters to do community work (talkingretail.com)
