Davie P Posted September 28, 2018 Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 Despite a dramatic rise in the number of murders in Shetland over the past few years (Jimmy Perez is on the case though ) it seems the overall crime rates have fallen https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/news/aberdeen/1570939/crime-falls-by-12-in-aberdeen-shetland-and-the-western-isles/ "In Shetland, the third area to experience a 12% reduction overall, a major decrease in crimes of dishonesty outweighed rises in violence, sexual crimes and vandalism in the overall figures."

Davie P Posted February 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 Crime rates continue to fall - https://www.shetnews.co.uk/2019/02/21/crime-rates-falling-but-committee-says-not-good-enough/ A detection rate of 70% in Shetland seems quite good, and from my understanding one of the highest rates in Scotland https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/news/1141554/police-detection-rate-of-crimes-varies-massively-across-different-areas-of-scotland/ But Alastair Cooper reckons that's “not good enough”. I suppose it'll never be good enough until it's 100% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostrider Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 Maybe I'm imagining it, but I seem to think not all that many years ago our detection rate sat at 90+% pretty consistently. Nigel Bridgman-Elliot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
