Street Crime

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.
