ALL CRIME - British Crime Survey data
Source: The British Crime Survey (BCS)
How the British Crime Survey (BCS) works
- For a variety of reasons, people do not always report crimes to the police - which means they don't get reflected in police recorded crime figures.
- The British Crime Survey (BCS) asks people about their actual experiences - and so gives us a more accurate picture of crime levels and trends across England & Wales. (more...)
Note: The BCS does not include crimes against businesses or commercial property.
According to the BCS:
- In 2005/06 the total number of crimes in England and Wales was around 10,912,000.
- Total crime peaked in 1995, and has since fallen by 44%.
- In 2005/06 around 23% of the population were the victim of some type of crime.
- This has fallen from a high in 1995 of nearly 40% of the population.
