If you don’t get that a higher amount of officers on the ground coupled with the increase in stop and search would lead to a reduction on current levels of offences then I don’t know what else to say to you

Not my hypothesis. Only logical conclusion from the nonsense about there being a direct link between Police numbers and crime.
They have to be allowed to "stop and search" in the first place. Who was responsible for the reduction in that? Still doesn't lock them up, never mind also throwing away the key.
They and their associates(whether active or passive, eg girlfriends) should be locked up. That should make being part of such a gang an unattractive option.
