On Amendment 436, we agree that while the public are acutely aware of the prevalence of these offences, too often they have no sense of whether such offences are investigated, still less prosecuted in their local area. Better information on enforcement of everyday offences would support accountability and make it much harder for forces to hide behind national averages. In doing so, we must be careful to avoid imposing yet more rigid reporting duties on already overstretched officers.
