Trevor I think it works both ways. Their stats can only be as good as
we want them to be. So if you want accuracy then reporting is
essential. It's absurd that you think people would make crime up. For
what reason? If you have ever been a victim of crime, you would know
it's preposterous to suggest such.

So do you add incidents reported on this group and on the facebook
group? Even if these reports were flagged as such as clearly it takes
not effort to make such a report and it is fairly anonymous in some
cases so can it be trusted. I would hope that people are also not
making it up.
I still think (petty) crime will be heavily underreported it will be
heavily unreported.
So for instance you now have reports of two wiper blade thefts - have
those been added to your list or not.
Is there an email address and a format for reporting (petty) crime so
at least it is known about and a template so that all relevant
information can be captured
