I suspect a huge amount is down to reporting though. There's much more of an attitude that the police won't do anything and if they do the CPS will kick it out or the Court won't punish it so is it worth all the hassle? We need a graph showing recorded crime and people's faith in the criminal justice system.

Except it seems to be an international phenomenon, so I'd be surprised if parochial changes in reporting were happening at the same time around the globe.
For instance, I'd have thought that murders are one of the least likely to be unreported, and they've halved in 40 years in several European countries.
