pos: verb
tags: UK
examples: Nevertheless, if the recommendations of the Working Party had been strictly observed, no reported cases in 1986 should have been 'no-crimed' on the basis of the victim withdrawing her complaint.
Gregory and Lees (1999) suggest that, in contrast, the high rates of 'no criming' for rape and sexual assault demonstrate the low priority attached by the police to these offences.
According to these figures, in Lincolnshire, for example, 26% of all reported rapes were no-crimed in 2012–13 and 20% were no-crimed in 2011–12. This contrasts with Merseyside, where 4% reported rape crimes were no-crimed in 2012–13 ...
Of cases reported, half to two-thirds are “no-crimed” or, in US parlance, “unfounded” or determined to be “baseless” by the police (Brown, 2010; Kelly et al., 2010).

He pointed out that he really liked the idea of it being somehow related to the printing press, because the printing press, so many years ago, revolutionized the power of the people because books became accessible, they were no longer so expensive and he truly believed in the power of blogging and this blogging software that he was working on… and really, out of nowhere, it suddenly hit me.

Remember blogs? They were about before Tumblr turned up and turfed all but the most dedicated off their Wordpresses,^([sic]) and were more likely to be thematically concerned with Sarah Records or late 80s German centre backs than otherkins and sitcom reaction .gifs.
WordPress.com allows us to host WordPresses from all over the world and give people a really easy place to start.
