"Figure 2: TCSEW annual estimates for total crime lie within the range of what has been estimated in the face-to-face CSEW in recent years","" "England and Wales, annual estimates (with 95% confidence intervals)","" "","" "Notes","1. These data are published as Experimental Statistics 2. Data on this chart refer to different modes: March 2017 to March 2020 are based on the Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW), September 2020 are based on the Telephone-operated Crime Survey for England and Wales (TCSEW). 3. CSEW data relate to adults aged 16 years and over or to households. TCSEW data relate to adults aged 18 years and over or to households 4. 95% confidence intervals are included. This means that if we drew 20 random samples and calculated a 95% confidence interval for each sample using the data in that sample, we would expect that, on average, 19 out of the 20 (95%) resulting confidence intervals would contain the true estimate."
