Polícias em Lincolnshire recusado investigar o ano passado um em seis crimes, revelou-se.
As figuras liberadas sob a liberdade de crimes da mostra 9.003 do ato da informação “foram selecionadas para fora” como unsolvable dentro das horas do relatório às polícias de Lincolnshire.
O ano passado 55.277 crimes foram relatados à força do condado, significando que 16 por cento - ou um em seis - não estiveram investigados.
From the 12 English and Scottish forces that responded to the Freedom of Information request, it was revealed that 788,000 crimes were screened out last year from a total of 2,029,000 recorded offences - a rate of 39 per cent.
The findings suggest that out of six million offences reported to forces in the UK last year, around 2.3 million were not investigated.
When crimes are screened out no officer visits the scene of the crime and no attempt is made to catch the culprit.
Even robberies and violent crimes can be screened out, while other cases involve fraud, theft and vandalism.
In some areas, forces have adopted an official policy not to investigate non-residential burglaries, criminal damage under £1,000 or low level harassment - regardless of solvability.
Lincolnshire Police said screening out was necessary in order to make best use of limited resources.
