Crime articles

View in browser 8 February 2018 People, population and community Following on from the publication on January 25 of the most recent crime figures for England and Wales, a series of articles providing a more detailed breakdown of figures previously published, all covering the year ending March 2017. Commenting on today's analysis, John Flatley from the Office for National Statistics says:  "The data we've published today show the complexity of measuring crime in all its different forms. Even offences under the heading of 'violence' vary enormously, from minor assaults such as pushing and shoving to homicide. We need to be careful that our perceptions and understanding of crime levels are shaped by appropriate data, and not over-generalised." The nature of violent crime in England and Wales: year ending March 2017 Homicide in England and Wales: year ending March 2017 Sexual offences in England and Wales: year ending March 2017 Domestic abuse: findings from the Crime Survey for England and Wales, year ending March 2017   The two sources of figures used in these articles are the Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW) and police recorded crime data. These two sources can sometimes suggest differing trends, so care should be used when drawing conclusions.   Help us design the questions for the 2021 Census Get involved Visit the National Statistical blog to see the many ways ONS is working to give the UK better statistics for better decisions.
