Action Fraud (AF) is referring fewer computer misuse cases to police investigators despite official statistics showing nearly a million offences were reported last year.

In the 12 months to June this year, the Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW) reckoned that the number of computer misuse crimes had fallen – but also revealed that much-derided police initiative Action Fraud was passing fewer crimes, proportionately, to police for proper criminal investigation.
