And is if on cue here is the view of a current Police Inspector in an English force.

If anyone was wondering why we Caution so many offenders, it is really very simple.
1. We have been told to increase the number of offenders dealt with ‘out of court’ and therefore we have a target.

So Labour moan about the backlog in the criminal justice system so come up with plans and scams to get stuff dealt with out of court then moan about that and announce grand plans to get things back to the way they were which will never happen.
If the Police were free to go after the people who need to be targeted with a massive reduction in the amount of form-filling, ridiculous box-ticking and general wastage they would get impressive results.
Of course at this point the jails would be filled up and they would have to start letting people out after serving less than half the sentence or suspending sentences or tagging people who have histories of ignoring court orders.
