Commenting on findings of the Scottish Crime and Victimisation Survey 2004, SNP Deputy Justice Spokesperson Stewart Stevenson MSP said:
"The fact that more than half of crimes go unreported is a sad legacy of this washed-up Labour and Lib Dem Governments failed justice policies.
"We urgently need to rebuild confidence in Scotland's criminal justice system. Laws already exist for action to be taken against criminals but the police need the resources to tackle them and secure convictions. The message is clear, we should be supporting our police officers instead of undermining confidence in the police force as Jack McConnell did last month."
