More and more it seems that British police just want a quiet life; especially one that doesn't involve actually fighting crime in any significant way.

Four out of ten crimes are written off as unsolvable just a few hours after they are reported.

The two million offences are simply "screened out" - and their victims have little or no chance of seeing the culprit brought to justice.

Crackerjack response times are no doubt responsible for such speedy decisions you might think, but you'd be wrong-

No officer visits the scene of the crime, and no attempt is made to find a suspect.

I guess it's easier to harass children or enforce thought crime edicts than chasing after adult criminals.

As many as two-thirds of burglaries are not investigated in some areas, according to the police figures.

Even robberies and violent crimes can be screened out - along with fraud, theft and vandalism.

Britain in the 21st century- a haven for criminals.

Among the 12 English and Scottish forces which released figures under Freedom of Information laws, 788,000 crimes were screened out last year.

From a total of 2,029,000 recorded offences, this means 39 per cent are written off in this way.

The findings suggest that out of 6million offences reported to forces in the UK last year, around 2.3million were not investigated.

And this in a society where law-abiding citizens are prohibited from defending themselves or their property.
