Clear up this mess!
Crime prevention, public safety, traffic efficiency, and so on are not covered by the test of clear-up rates.
It is misleading to consider a broad total without taking into account the clear-up rate, for example, of auto crime.
The corresponding clear-up rates for 1978–82 are given in the following table.
Crime is increasing and the clear-up rate for theft remains low.
Our goal must be prevention, so as not to have to deal with the major clear-up after a disaster at all.
It remains the undoubted fact that if the conviction rate or the clear-up rate rises, crime falls, and vice versa.
The focus instead has been on performance indicators such as response times, clear-up rates and devolved budgeting.
Furthermore, as we all know, the graffiti would re-appear within days and the expense of the clear-up would be money down the drain.
