Thank you for your enquiry relating to the number of gang related crimes in Milton Keynes over the last year.

We publish statistics taken from the Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW) and crimes recorded by the police. Data related to gangs are limited and we do not hold information on gang activity or gang-related crimes.

Although police recorded crime data will include offences which are related to gangs, these are not separately identifiable from other crimes. The Home Office published a research report in 2016 that provides some further discussion around this topic and may be of some help to you.

The Home Office are also contactable by e-mail at CrimeandPoliceStats@homeoffice.gov.uk and may be able to help you further.

If you have any crime-related queries in future, you can email CrimeStatistics@ons.gov.uk and we will endeavour to help.
