To think it's awful PC Harper's killers will be let out early.
As if it isn't hard enough for his wife and his family that it happened, now they face all this early release. How cruel. How absolutely cruel can life be?🤢

What a rotten justice system we have.
Petitions are going round, but they shouldn't have to?
What's the betting the offenders will just carry on the same way as before when released anyway?
How can anyone in their right mind think it's acceptable?🤔😮

What do you say to people who ask why they cannot see any evidence that crime is lower in their daily lives?

I'd say to them: collect the data. Record all crime in the area for a quarter, say, then compare it to to historic data.

But how are normal people supposed to go about recording crimes? How is it even possible?

A pen and paper is usually favourite, but a word document on a laptop will suffice too.

If normal people are noticing more crime then normal people are perfectly capable of recording said observations and challenging the official data if they believe it to be incorrect.
