Hmm...so I have been wondering about this for a while.
Here's the sentence: The increasing use of electronic monitoring, such as CCTV cameras, ‘phone tapping’ and ‘electronic tagging’ have arguably reduced the need for so many officers ‘on the beat.
Would you suggest using increased or just keeping it the same.
This article is talking about how police forces changed in the twentieth century.
Thanks in advance.^^
