Wasting Police Time The Crazy World of the War on Crime

PC David Copperfield is an ordinary bobby quietly waging war on crime...when he''s not drowning in a sea of paperwork, government initiatives and bogus paperwork. Wasting Police Time is a hilarious but shocking picture of life in a modern British town, where teenage yobs terrorise the elderly, drunken couples brawl in front of their children and muggers roam free. Copperfield reveals how crime is spiralling while millions of tax pounds are frittered away. Coppersblog, his award-winning online diary, has attracted rave reviews from The Guardian, Sunday Times and The Daily Telegraph.
