I think that's more in response to Maybot saying it wasn't.

I don't think it is obvious or proven that police numbers and violent crime are linked and the police are far from impartial in this. There have been cuts in police but there have also been cuts in things like youth services which perhaps means more people hanging around on streets.
The causes of violent crime can be very complex, for example the possible link with leaded petrol. I'd like to see Ms Dick produce the research she is using to justify spending money on policing rather than other intervention methods.
