CRB errors lead to hundreds being wrongly branded criminals

If youre innocent, youve got nothing to fear...yeah, right. Criminal Records Bureau wrongly gave 1,570 people a criminal record, or gave people who had a record a clean bill of health, or got something else wrong [this is the Telegraph, I'm afraid] last year, up from 600+ the year before. The Home office gives us good old Stalin-style figures...They were 99.6% accurate, compared with 99.8%...oh go clap yourselves, apparatchiki!
