Louise Casey, former independent Commissioner for Victims and Witnesses, answers a question from Paul in Staffordshire.

Paul owns a business running housing sites and says he regularly has organised thefts of things like boilers and fuel, sometimes two or three times a month.

He says reporting the theft is a 鈥渃omplete waste of time鈥� and nothing happens for 鈥渟ignificant thefts.鈥�

鈥淚f my house is broken into or my car is stolen off the drive, I have absolutely no faith in the police doing anything about it鈥�it seems obvious to me the level of staffing a resources is woeful.鈥�

Baroness Louise Casey says cuts to civilian police numbers mean prosecutions of some crime, also known as attrition rates, are low: 鈥淲e're all in the wrong place.鈥�
