Polish paper links falling crime to emigration

19/08/2006 - 13:16:56

A leading Polish newspaper has carried a report which linked the country's falling crime figures with the fact that troublemakers are leaving to work abroad.

In the first half of this year there were 4,500 fewer crimes reported.

The chief prosecutor in Krakow has put the trend down to the type of people who are emigrating, but the Polish Embassy in Dublin says there has been no evidence of an increase in crime in relation to Polish nationals living in Ireland.
