Gardaí: More work to do on recording of crime

An Garda Síochána has admitted it has “more work to do” in improving the recording of crime after the Central Statistics Office once again raised issues over some aspects of the system.

In addition to publishing the latest quarterly crime figures, the CSO also released its latest review of the quality of crime statistics, based on cases from 2015.

It was the second such review, the previous one having looked at data from 2011, and while the CSO said there had been improvements in virtually all areas, there were still some shortcomings.
