I'd bet there's a lot of truth in that for police reported crime. At the same time, the BCS is a survey based model and is different from police reported crime. I used to work on the BCS. Its random nature means it's rather like firing a shotgun into the air hoping you might hit something. Maybe they didn't put any cartriges in. I once phoned the police at the request of the missus. When I'd explained the case he asked for my phone number and would phone me back. An hour or two later missus phoned me to say the sergeant had been trying to phone me for an hour. I rang the sergeant to explain I'd not been out and what number was he ringing; he read the number out and it showed I had given him the wrong number. Glancing down on my notepad I realised I had told him the number missus had given me earlier. So sergeant, who also headed the local intelligence department, had been phoning his own police station.

And nobody answered the phone? Typical!
