It has been obvious to those at the coal face that the government has been letting the police avoid court for offenders and serious offenders that if you stopped the man in the street they would expect to go to court.
Burglary, Gbh, Abh and sex offenders have been given cautions instead of being sent to court.
The police claim they are following guidelines set down by government the government today suggests the police have gone on a follie of their own. Those cynics/realists suggest it may have something to do with the costs saved by reducing the number of cases before the court.
Justice is being tinkered with by those who should know better simply for cost benefit reasons.
