Data

  • Sexual offences: appendix tables

    Analyses from the Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW) of sexual assaults experienced by adults aged 16 to 59, including by type, sex and personal characteristics, and police recorded sexual offences.

The United Kingdom Statistics Authority has designated these statistics as National Statistics, in accordance with the Statistics and Registration Service Act 2007 and signifying compliance with the Code of Practice for Official Statistics.

Designation can be broadly interpreted to mean that the statistics:

  • meet identified user needs
  • are well explained and readily accessible
  • are produced according to sound methods
  • are managed impartially and objectively in the public interest

Once statistics have been designated as National Statistics it is a statutory requirement that the Code of Practice shall continue to be observed.
