Helinut, I heard recently about a great example of this manipulation.
A very senior officer was inspecting a division and the force concerned have a way of grading performance based on the percentage of crimes cleared up. Less than 75% and you get an Amber, more than 75% you get a green, less than 50% is a red. One div commander is unable to beat 66% as he's only had three racially motivated crimes in the last period and charged people with two of them.
No amount of pleading with the VSO would make them see sense on this. The division failed as they were not achieving at least a 75% clear up rate.
So....he either has a failure on his record or he gets a guy to go out and "create" a racially motivated crime that they can "solve" to balance the books.
VSO is ONLY interested in the stats.
