英國警察宣佈以後不再管偷竊搶劫了!
Britain's largest police force will no longer investigate thousands of burglaries, thefts and some assaults, it has been revealed.
據報道，英國最大的警察機構今後將不再調查數千起入室盜竊、偷竊和襲擊等犯罪行爲。The Metropolitan Police have stopped looking into low-level crimes – which critics claim will give criminals 'the green light to thieve'.
倫敦警察廳已停止調查低級別犯罪。批評者認爲這將給罪犯“偷竊開綠燈”。The new guidelines, which were issued to officers in the London force last month, have been introduced as part of the force's ongoing cost-cutting drive.
上個月，倫敦警察廳就已將新指南發給警察部門，作爲警方削減經費舉措之一。
Officers were told that they no longer had to investigate low-level incidents of grievous bodily harm or car crime unless a victim identified a suspect.
警方被告知，今後他們無需調查低級別犯罪行爲，包括一些導致嚴重身體傷害的罪行或者汽車犯罪，除非受害者能確認罪犯身份。Any crimes that involved a loss of less than 50 pounds also no longer have to be investigated unless a suspect is identified.
如果損失不超過50英鎊，嫌犯身份也無法確認，警察也不再調查。
The guidelines also stated that burglaries should only be looked into if the thieves used violence to gain entry or tricked their way in.
指南還規定，警察將只調查竊賊暴力入室或者欺騙入室的案件。The Met is aiming to save 400 million pounds by 2020 as part of cuts to the service's budget.
倫敦警察廳計劃在2020年前削減4億英鎊經費，這是警務預算削減的一部分。Meanwhile, the number of recorded offences has increased, with violent crime rising by 63% since May 2013 and gun crime increasing by 54% in the past two years.
同時，有記錄的犯罪案件一直在增加。自2013年5月以來，暴力犯罪案件數量增加了63%。槍支犯罪案件數量在過去兩年間增加了54%。Deputy Assistant Commissioner Mark Simmons said: 'We are having to balance the books with fewer officers and less money. We must prioritise our resources to be able to cope with the demand so our officers can be in the right place at the right time to help the public.'
警察廳助理副廳長馬克·西蒙斯說：“警察人數和經費都在減少，我們不得不做出舉措平衡這些影響。我們必須優化資源，以便能夠應對需求，這樣我們的警察才能適時出現，保護公衆。”Under the new plans officers will only analyse CCTV if the footage is clear and the crime appears within a 20-minute window. It is thought that the changes will result in around 150,000 fewer crimes being investigated each year.
按照新方案，警方將只分析畫面清晰、且犯罪行爲發生在20分鐘內的監控錄像。據稱，這將導致每年有大約15萬起案件不再被調查。
