The Home Office is at the centre of another row over crime figures after the head of the UK Statistics Authority accused it of issuing “selective” statistics on knife offending.
Sir Michael Scholar, head of the Authority, said the release of details on an initiative to tackle knife attacks by both the Home Office and 10 Downing Street had been “premature”.
The rebuke, which oversees the Office for National Statistics, is highly damaging, particularly as it follows disputes over the way the Home Office has dealt with release of crime and immigration and asylum figures.
Sir Michael said that the release of stabbing data was “premature, irregular and selective”.
New Labour - "I want them all dead. I want their family's dead. I want their houses burnt to the ground. I want to go there in the middle of the night and piss on the ashes."

So whats the big suprise over this, politicians cherry pick their stats to make it look like they can control crime in the sink estates and calm the middle classes.
They have done this before, still at least this time they have not hounded any weapons experts by the name of Dr David Kelly to death.
