A large number of homeowners in Yorkshire was failed to reporting crime, Direct Line insurance company said.
Figures recently was disclosed by Direct Line insurance company showed that in Yorkshire, a large number of homeowners was failed to reporting crime. This tendency had been begun since the introduction of online crime maps.
Therefore, government websites had to allow prospective buyers and tenants to check crime rate in a given area. “In the past 6 months, they had witnessed a crime but they prefer not to report it for fear of deterring future tenants and buyers”, according to survey respondents as much as 13%.
Nationwide, this picture was even more concerning because 11% of crime witnesses or victims had decided not to report it. Mr. Morrell from Direct Line insurance commenting on the findings of the survey and he told that it was extremely worrying because we could see crimes everywhere but unreported.
He added that householders who did not report a crime might struggle to protect payment from their insurer for any losses incurred because they would not have a crime number to reference an incident occurred. “The community would be aware of it any ways without regard of whether the crime was reported to the crime maps or not.
Therefore, this thing meant that prospective tenants and buyers would be able to get and know this information anytime.
