Met Police Fail Victims of Crime

The Metropolitan Police have the worst record for dealing with crime victims, according to surveys. London police ‘victim satisfaction’ is dropping and is the lowest among the big city forces. The Metropolitan Police’s own surveys found that it was the lowest out of all 43 forces in England and Wales for satisfaction with police actions and treatment. It was also third from last on police follow up action. There are also poor services across London for young crime victims; they were treated more like perpetrators in some cases. If this carries on victims will be less likely to report crimes.
