The Skyhooks summed this up prefectly.

“Women in uniform….”.

ATTA GIRL AUDREY !

Well done Jazz, your right on the money. Coming from the Automotive industry the amount of cars I have seen that were vandalised, broken into, stolen/recovered in the last 3 years was astronomical. The worst part about this was that most of the owners told me that they had not bothered calling the cops because last time (repeat offenders or repeat victims?) they police had done sweet FA.

Statistics lie, coppers are underfunded and understaffed and junkies won’t go away. I think Audrey has her work cut out for her if she wants to be seen to be making a difference.

You’ve all heard the saying 95% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

No organisation can be expected to gather statistics on itself meaningfully for external debate.

ON YA AUDREY !!

How much of this decrease has to do with the lack of availability of heroin and other hard drugs, a very expensive habit, diminishing the number of users performing break and enters to feed a habit?

or maybe, how many people have stopped reporting offences because they’ve had poor responses from the police in the past.

Conveniently these statistics will be used to justify the low policing numbers we currently have

a question for those stats could be, which one of Canberra’s repeat offenders was behind bars for that period of time to show the decrease in crime and when do they get out again?
