Yep.....cut the number of police you have.....cut their money......put huge amounts of paperwork on them and accuse them of being racist pigs and haters......
And then expect your crime rates to go down...that is our democrat party way....and now Britain is adopting it...
Arrests plunge by half in 10 years despite soaring crime rate
The new figures come just days after it was revealed the total number of crimes recorded year on year passed the 5 million mark for the first time in a decade.
In the year ending March 2017, only 11 per cent of crimes resulted in someone being charged. In almost half of all crimes (48 per cent) no suspects were identified.
Former home secretary David Blunkett claimed officers were more likely to give warnings rather than arrest people in a bid to avoid paperwork.
However, others have pointed to the pressure put on the dwindling number of officers, with a 13 per cent drop in numbers recorded by the Home Office between 2010 and 2016.
Lord Blunkett said: "Police are reluctant to arrest people because of the amount of paperwork involved, so officers are encouraged to give warnings rather than arrest people.
"That means people are on the street who might otherwise be prosecuted and it sends a signal that reverberates very quickly, leading criminals to think they can get away with it."
Campaigners have warned victims are losing confidence in police forces that increasingly treat crimes such as burglary and assault as minor incidents.
And another democrat party favorite......spend money on everything to get elected.....and take the money from the police....
Speaking to the Telegraph, David Green, chief executive of the Civitas think tank, said: "The police are unable to cope with the volume of crime, and the 20,000 drop in police numbers is bound to have made a difference."
