  • Crime in England and Wales: year ending March 2022

    Crime against households and adults using data from police recorded crime and the Telephone-operated Crime Survey for England and Wales. Includes the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on crime and people’s perceptions of crime during the April 2021 to March 2022 interview periods.

Data

  • Crime in England and Wales: Quarterly data tables

    Data from Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW) and Home Office police recorded crime broken down into quarterly time periods. Because of the suspension of the face-to-face Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW) on 17 March 2020 owing to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, from the year ending June 2020 to the year ending June 2022 these tables only contain Home Office police recorded crime data.

  • Crime in England and Wales: Annual Trend and Demographic Tables

    Data from the Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW) showing breakdowns of victimisation over time and by various demographic characteristics. Please note: The methodology by which the CSEW calculates its incidents of crime changed in December 2018. Incident numbers and rates published in the Annual Trend and Demographic Tables prior to the year ending September 2018 dataset are not comparable with those currently published. Data from the Telephone-operated Crime Survey for England and Wales (TCSEW) showing victimisation for the year ending March 2022 by various demographic characteristics are also presented in this workbook.

  • Crime in England and Wales: Police Force Area data tables

    The number of police recorded crimes, percentage change from previous year and rate per 1,000 population by offence group, firearms, knife and sharp instrument, fraud and anti-social behaviour offences by Police Force Area.

  • Crime Severity Score (Experimental Statistics)

    Crime Severity Score (CSS) data for police force areas and community safety partnerships, which equate in the majority of instances to local authorities. Includes a data tool to enable production of summary charts on trends and comparisons between areas.

  • Crime in England and Wales: coronavirus (COVID-19) and crime tables

    Information from a new module of questions included in the Telephone-operated Crime Survey for England and Wales (TCSEW) around perceptions of crime, the police and anti-social behaviour during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, feelings of safety and experiences of harassment. Data on children’s online activity are also presented. These tables are no longer produced.

  • Crime in England and Wales: Appendix tables

    Trends in Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW) crime experienced by adults and children aged 10 to 15 years and Home Office police recorded crime, by offence type. Also includes trends in offender relationship of CSEW violence. Because of the suspension of the face-to-face CSEW on 17 March 2020, owing to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, data tables from the year ending June 2020 to the year ending March 2022 shown in this workbook also include data from the Telephone-operated Crime Survey for England and Wales (TCSEW). Crime survey data on crimes experienced by children aged 10 to 15 years currently remain unavailable from the year ending June 2020 onwards.

  • Crime in England and Wales: Uncapped CSEW tables

    Trends in uncapped estimates from the Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW) and estimates from the Telephone-operated Crime Survey for England and Wales (TCSEW), by offence type. These estimates have been published for methodological purposes only. They will be subject to considerable volatility from year to year and are not the main measure of incident estimates from the CSEW or TCSEW. The main measure of incident estimates from the CSEW and TCSEW are capped at the 98th percentile and are available in Crime in England and Wales: Appendix tables.

  • Recorded crime data by Community Safety Partnership area

    Recorded crime figures for Community Safety Partnership areas, which equate in the majority of instances to local authorities. Contains the number of offences for the last two years, percentage change between these two time periods and rates per 1,000 population for the latest year.
