Record increase in crime reported in UK

4 февраля 2024

According to the Daily Telegraph, almost half of the UK residents have lost confidence in the local justice system. It's all about very lenient sentences for serious crimes. Another reason for the innovation of the Ministry of Justice to release "not particularly dangerous" prisoners in an attempt to ease the burden on prisons.

The British are also dissatisfied with the government, which is unable to control the borders. Thus, illegal migrants often join the ranks of criminals. According to the latest data, in January alone, almost 1,500 people illegally crossed the Channel.

The maintenance of "illegal migrants" hits the state budget hard. The budgeted funds are not enough. An additional amount of 2.5 billion pounds sterling will be requested from the Parliament.
