Abstract
It should be noted that a good deal of the ground covered in this section has already been reviewed in a companion volume (Crime-Volume XV), but some overlap is unavoidable. The subject matter of 12.1 is restricted for the most part, to those police statistics which are published at police force level and which therefore relate to most aspects of what is almost wholly a local authority service. With the exception of London, the police in England and Wales are under the control of individual or combined county authorities. In London, the police authorities are the City of London and the Home Office which controls the Metropolitan Police.
