Whenever crime is mentioned, it seems the major parties automatically shout for more police but they never shout for more barristers and courts. Yet your data shows many crimes are waiting resolution. If the courts were well funded and quick, maybe more people would have faith in the justice system as a whole.

Putting aside the other issues around stop-and-search for a moment, the data presented sort of explains high numbers in River, as logically that would be where the police are spending most of their time/resources. Plus a fairly linear route to/from the HQ via areas containing the shopping/night time economy.
