Prior to the year ending March 2002, CSEW respondents were asked about their experience of crime in the previous calendar year, so year-labels identify the year in which the crime took place. Following the change to continuous interviewing, respondents' experience of crime relates to the full 12 months prior to interview (ie a moving reference period). Year-labels for the year ending March 2002 onwards identify the CSEW year of interview."
