Bribery is corruption and corruption is illegal. It is wrong to bribe the police to carry out its duties. Most police services should be free except the public is informed about a fee. The person giving the police officer a bribe is just as wrong as the police officer. Both the giver and receiver are committing a crime.

An act by which a person intentionally or recklessly applies force to the complainant. This is what most people think of as an assault and although it is commonly used to describe battery, even by the police it is not correct. The physical contact between attacker and victim is battery.

If you feel you have been a victim of this you need to report it to your local police.

Yes it is. Burglary is where a person enters a building or part of a building without permission and proceeds to steal property from within. For many people this means that someone has entered your house without permission and stolen property from inside your house. Many people use the phrase “my house has been robbed”; it has not been robbed but burgled. The whole body does not have to enter the house. If someone puts their arm through the letterbox and steal keys, for example, this is classed as a burglary. Examples of burglary:

A. Smashes patio door and opens it and goes into living room and steals a TV and DVD player and leaves the house.
B. Puts his hand through an open window and steals a purse that has been left on a kitchen unit.
If you have suffered from a burglary, please contact the police straight away and try not to touch anything that you think the offender may have touched.
