Plans to let the public report crimes via a national police website have raised fears that citizens will be vulnerable to revenge attacks if computer security fails. Home Office minister Charles Clarke told the House of Commons this week that he had commissioned work on the development of an internet portal which would enable members of the public to report minor crimes to the police using the internet.

Clarke said the portal was part of a wider vision for delivering police services electronically to the public. "While many forces are already introducing services via their own websites, I believe the public should be able to interact with their local force through a standard interface providing a wide range of services," he said.
