Hold the front page - crime stable!

Based on British Crime Survey (BCS) interviews in the year to September 2009, the overall level of crime is stable compared with the year ending September 2008. The number of crimes recorded by the police fell by eight per cent for the period July to September 2009 compared with the same quarter a year earlier.

Curiously enough, this isn't being featured heavily on the Mail or Express websites. Can't think why.
