Almost four in 10 crimes are not being investigated because police officers believe they cannot be solved.
The offences include sex attacks, violent robberies, harassment, burglary and drug incidents.
The Metropolitan Police, the country's largest police force, decided that more than half of crimes did not warrant full investigation as there was little chance of the culprit being caught, according to The Daily Mail.
The Met said that in the 2007/8 financial year it "screened out" a total of 437,888 offences. These included 26,709 violent offences, 338 sex attacks, 5,562 robberies and more than 60,000 burglaries.
For burglary, the Met only investigates one in three cases reported to them. In Bedfordshire, which last year screened out 42 per cent of crimes, one in three burglaries do not get a full investigation, while in Norfolk, 113 sex attacks were among the 42 per cent of crime screened out.
Although the percentage of screened out crime falls for more serious offences the force still excluded 290 offences of violence, 12 sex attacks, 32 robberies and 16 drugs offences.
It was found that across the country, of the 16 forces who replied to a Freedom of Information request, 39 per cent of crimes were screened out - an equivalent of 1.9 million out of the five million crimes reported.
I'm surprised, really, because 100% of my interactions with our bovines in blue has resulted in a zero effort to investigate at all.
And these figures don't even mention the sleight of hand that these fuckers indulge in by reclassifying crimes. As far as I'm concerned, if someone nicks my car to go joyriding, that's theft. But to the police it's "taking without owner's consent", which is much less serious, and since it's much less serious, they can't be arsed to investigate it, let alone solve it.
40% of crime just gets ignored by the police. Does that fill you with any kind of warm feeling? How about we just scrap the whole fucking shower and start again?
Cunts.

It's all so utterly fucked now I think you may be right. Bin the lot of 'em and start from scratch.
I posted on this today
It fucking incensed me to the heights of swearblogging I even used the word Cunt
They're on their own, that's the problem. A little less time perceived as being spent alienating the honest members of the public might help turn things around. People are now absolutely powerless - got a burglar in your house? Just let them take what they want and remember it's your fault for having poor security. Being threatened in the street? Take a kicking and remember it's your fault for being there. Don't punch the cunt as you'll be the one doing time.
It's all gone wrong, chav' gangs marauding around with no fear of anyone. Honest members of the public more fearful of the Police than ever. Welcome to GB PLC.
