How can this be? Just last week John Reid said that crime is at its lowest level since one million years BC and that figures pointing to the contrary were "misleading".

He he... just saw this as well i.e. shoot the messenger

A report is to call for radical changes to the way crime figures in England and Wales are compiled.
The independent review, commissioned by ex-home secretary Charles Clarke, was carried out by leading statisticians, police officials and criminologists.

It is expected to show problems with the British Crime Survey (BCS) - which the Home Office claims is the most reliable indicator of crime levels.

But review chairman Adrian Smith says the BCS is "losing credibility".

The risk of becoming a victim of crime in England and Wales is rising for the first time since 1995, figures suggest.
The British Crime Survey, regarded as the most reliable measure of crime by the Home Office, said the risk had risen one percentage point to 24.3%.
