"It’ll weigh heavily on their future career prospects".
I hope the executive team are ashamed. It’s not illegal. But it’s harmful. It’ll weigh heavily on their future career prospects. And it’s disgusting. They should know better. And use their many talents to find less egregious ways to hit their targets.

RT @gmhales: Good to see this interests in crime statistics. The main answer is changes to crime recording.

I should ignore this guy but the answer is mostly because police have got better at recording them since 2014, and also it's because people have got better at reporting them in light of #MeToo in 2017 etc. There also could be a (much smaller) genuine rise as well of course
