John Flatley, Head of Crime Statistics at the Office for National Statistics, talks about the sources of ONS's Crime Statistics, including their benefits and limitations.

Contains the main detailed reference tables presenting full time series data and offence type breakdowns. The data contained in these tables are from three sources: the Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW), Home Office police recorded crime and the National Fraud Intelligence Bureau (NFIB). They show the incidence, prevalence, victimisation rates and percentage changes from the previous year for CSEW crime, the number of crimes and percentage change from the previous year recorded by the police and incidents of fraud recorded by the NFIB. The appendix tables accompany the release 'Crime in England and Wales, year ending December 2012' published by the Office for National Statistics on 25th April 2013.

Contains crime and perceptions data broken down by police force area. The data contained in these tables are from two sources: Home Office police recorded crime and the Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW). They show the number of police recorded crimes, including percentage change from the previous year and rate per 1,000 population by offence group and police force area, and local attitudes towards the police measured by the CSEW. They accompany the release 'Crime in England and Wales, year ending December 2012' published by the Office for National Statistics on 25th April 2013.

The figures presented here are from the 2011/12 Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW). Violent crime measured by the CSEW includes: assault with minor injury, assault with no injury, wounding and robbery. Violence measured by the CSEW can also be classified into four subgroups (violence typology): domestic, mugging, stranger and acquaintance. Domestic violence – includes all violent incidents, excluding mugging, which involve partners, ex-partners, household members or other relatives. Mugging – this is a popular rather than a legal term, comprising robbery, attempted robbery, and snatch theft from the person. Stranger violence – includes assault and wounding incidents where the victim did not know (any of) the offender(s) in any way. Acquaintance violence – comprises assault and wounding incidents where the victim knew (one or more of) the offender(s), at least by sight.

Contains data tables and figures from the statistical bulletin. The data contained in these tables are from three sources: the Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW), the (Home Office) Homicide Index and police recorded crime. The bulletin tables accompany the release 'Focus on: Violent Crime and Sexual Offences, 2011/12' published by the Office for National Statistics on 7 February 2013.
