Yup. Totally accurate statement C-dub.

Wouldn't that be a crime?

In order to get their bonus's, yes definitely. Corruption comes to mind. OTOH, to doctor(read lower) the true crime stats, is to justify the position that the politicians are seeking. Sounds kind of familiar here in the US doesn't it?

Their "Methodology" of reporting murders is totally bogus. It's reported a murder, ONLY after conviction....not at the time of the murder/death. Can stats get any more skewed than that?

Very interesting reading Andy. Sad but interesting. The police chiefs get a bonus in their paycheck for lowering crime rates, then alter reality to fit their justification to getting the bonus's. Deceiving the public by publishing their doctored crime stats. Incredible! Talk about looking through rose colored glasses.
