Yeah. I remember reading the statistics for cases "solved", and there is a huge gap between crimes against "property", and crimes against "people". The police force has much more know-how dealing with theft and other kinds of similar crimes than they do with murder, assault, SA, and so on.
I found it really surprising when i heard how low the number of solved murder cases in the US is. Apparently it's something around 20%. Over here, it's in the 70-80% ballpark.
And even then, the % is not such a good metric to look at. Japan has a nearly 100% conviction rate for murder , but it's because they'll just accuse whoever and once you've been charged you're as good as convicted.
reminds me of this case where a Japanese hacker hijacked people's computers to make death threats and the police coerced confessions out of four of them
