VFM for coppers

Police forces are becoming alarmed by a campaign to impose payment by results on them. This comes in the wake of a report that in the year to June, 5.3 million crimes were logged in England and Wales but a suspect was charged for just 7.6% of them.
    That’s charged, not convicted. Which is leading to questions being asked about the value for money offered by the Can’t Prosecute Service.
    Worse for the police, it has been suggested that logged non-crime, non-events should be deducted from the record of useful work done.
