"Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Ian Blair has admitted that there is "almost no public faith" in crime figures. The New Scotland Yard head said the way crimes are categorised has been changed "so frequently they are bewildering". He suggested that British authorities adopt the same system as in New York where crimes are recorded in a more straightforward way."
