You raise an interesting point, in that Government is, usually, quick to release figures that would support its "fight against crime" and the figures you ask about would, I have thought, be relevant.
A suggestion to you, contact a local journalist, either print or, preferably BBC and, with a credible reason for your concern, ask them to investigate. "The BBC can reveal that..."
That assuming no compromising of your position of course.
Always a commentary, spoken or not.
Keeps one safe. One hopes.
