"I have positive and negative experiences from reporting crimes and think that although something rarely gets done it's still our duty to report. I have been mugged and reported crimes I have witnessed and heard nothing from the Police on the outcome from this. I have also reported a neighbour when truly awful screams were heard and it turned out to be assault for which they received a heavy sentence and I was well informed. Information is key and we could use more feedback from Police."

"I think the process of handing over evidence needs to be much, much simpler and easier. A police officer should be able to very quickly record a verbal statement and their details for further contact if necessary. The recording should be accepted in court as evidence as long as the witness can still be contacted to verify that is still true. The witness should not have to take time out of their schedule to appear in court."
