[Q
it absolutely did I even gave the section and paragraph
House of Commons - Home Affairs - Appendices to the Minutes of Evidence
Section 2 paragraph 35
Since 1967, homicide figures for England and Wales have been adjusted to exclude any cases which do not result in conviction
Here's the COMPLETE PASSAGE -
Homicide statistics too vary widely. In some developing countries, the statistics are known to be far from complete. Figures for crimes labelled as homicide in various countries are simply not comparable. Since 1967, homicide figures for England and Wales have been adjusted to exclude any cases which do not result in conviction, or
where the person is not prosecuted on grounds of self defence or otherwise. This reduces the apparent number of homicides by between 13 per cent and 15 per cent. The adjustment is made only in respect of figures shown in one part of the Annual Criminal Statistics.
In another part relating to the use of firearms, no adjustment is made.
Now, I think you are actually intelligent enough to have read the whole paragraph. If you were, you'd know that the adjustment for acquittals and self defense only budge the number 13-15% (of some 600 homicides a year) and in the case of gun homicides, they aren't moved AT ALL!
