A plodding performance

This report from UK think tank the Social Market Foundation explores the evidence on the efficacy of English and Welsh policing.

There are serious performance failings occurring in English and Welsh policing.

This report breaks down the latest data, showing poor outcomes in core areas of police competence such as criminal investigation, and highlights poor outcomes with regards to increasingly prevalent crimes such as fraud.

Using official data sources it shows that policing outcomes have worsened over the last decade.
