So...crimes that caused grievous bodily harm were not recorded....so Britain is actually even more violent than the stats actually show...
UK police force failed to record 10,000 crimes, watchdog says
The report said a “large proportion of common assaults and malicious communication offences and a small number of more serious crimes, including sexual offences, grievous bodily harm and rape”, were not recorded.
Of particular concern was violent crime, where only 72.7% of reported incidents were recorded, with some crimes of grievous bodily harm and wounding where victims were badly injured not being properly documented.
“This means that on too many occasions, the force is failing victims of crime,” the watchdog said.
