One in nine Welsh residents admit to not reporting violent crime
One in nine Cardiff residents admit to witnessing a violent crime and not reporting it.
This statistic was gathered by Get Licensed, a security firm, which conducted a survey to explore crime reporting trends and shoplifting habits.
The survey revealed that Cardiff had the highest percentage of residents failing to report violent crime in the UK.
In contrast, London, Edinburgh, and Southampton each recorded 7 per cent of residents who admitted they wouldn't report violent crime.
The survey also highlighted a trend across the UK: people aged 25-34 are the least likely to report a violent crime if they witness one.
Further findings from the survey showed that almost a quarter (23 per cent) of Britons have witnessed minor crimes, such as shoplifting, and chose not to report them.
In addition, 12 per cent of those who have never witnessed a crime said they would ignore it if they did.
The survey provides a detailed overview of crime reporting trends and shoplifting habits across the UK.
