West Midlands Police is "failing victims" and not recording more than 16,600 violent crimes each year, a watchdog has said.
The force was rated inadequate by Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire and Rescue Services, who said victims felt let down and not believed.
Only 78% of violent crime and 89% of sexual offences reported were recorded, it found.
The force said it had made "substantial progress".
About three-quarters of police forces around the country have already been inspected and of those, two-thirds were rated as either "inadequate" or "requiring improvement".
Reports from inspections were first published in 2016, after police forces throughout England and Wales were found to have an "utterly unacceptable" rate of accurately recording crime.
The recording rate by the West Midlands force remained "unacceptable and must be urgently addressed", the watchdog said.

Report or investigate ? Would be interesting to see if there was a pattern to the ones not investigated/recorded. with the sex abuse rings what better place to cover it up.. Just listened to a speech by Andrew Norfolk of the Times about his investigative work on the grooming gangs and how the police and council knew but kept it hidden for years.

I suspect so as not to be accused of racism and to pacify the ethnic and religious groups, the first defence usually is you are picking on me because I am black, yellow, asian,blue, green, orange, this was actually the defence of one of the child groomers.
This guy has been trying to get some response for long enough. Continually told to 'go away, forget it ' and basically threatened to shut up.
This was given to the ITNJ, International Tribunal for Natural Justice. Have they done anything ?
Short version.
