UK: Report shows 'dearth' of M

Corrupt cop repaired some dama
Corrupt former crime commission officer Samuel Foster had done much to repair some of the damage he had done, his lawyer says.
In sentencing submissions in the NSW District Court on Thursday, Ben Clark said probably the most significant matter was Foster's preparedness to give evidence against a number of accused in related cases.
Mr Clark said this placed Foster in "real peril", also noting the problems he had encountered since his fellow inmates recently discovered he is a former police officer.
Foster, 42, has pleaded guilty to a string of drugs, robbery, corruption and deception charges relating to faking drug busts.
He was charged after a Police Integrity Commission (PIC) investigation in 2004.
"Mr Foster has done much in relation to trying to repair some of the damage which has been done in relation to these matters," Mr Clark said.
He acknowledged the seriousness of the offences, particularly given Foster was a serving policeman at the time.
Simon Apps, for the crown, agreed with Mr Clark's submission that Foster's guilty plea resulted in a considerable saving to the community.
Judge Deborah Sweeney will sentence him on Friday.
