The population of the UK is covered by three separate crime surveys; the British Crime Survey which covers England and Wales; the Scottish Crime Survey and the Northern Ireland Crime Survey. This paper aims to map differences between the three surveys which may influence the estimates of victimization. Details: Edinburgh: Scottish Centre for Criminal and Justice Research, 2010. 35p.

Author: UK Statistics Authority Title: Overcoming Barriers to Trust in Crime Statistics: England and Wales Summary: The UK Statistics Authority is responsible for promoting and safeguarding the production and publication of official statistics that serve the public good. In the Parliamentary debates preceding the passage of the 2007 Statistics and Registration Service Act, which created the Statistics Authority, much was said about the need to build trust in UK official statistics. This report looks at that challenge in the specific context of crime statistics, drawing on the conclusions of a number of earlier reviews in the field. This is an interim report and a final report will be published in spring 2010. Details: London: UK Statistics Authority, 2009. 55p.

Author: HMIC (Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary) Title: The crime scene: A review of police crime and incident reports Summary: This review by Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC) of police crime and incident reports in England and Wales considers the quality of crime and incident data, and the arrangements in place to ensure standards are maintained and improved. The findings from this review are derived from evidence gathered from an examination of key documents; a relatively small number of incident logs and crime reports; interviews with staff; and visits to police stations and police control rooms. The data collected was largely qualitative in nature. Any quantative results should be viewed as indicative only. Details: London: HMIC, 2012. 34p.

Author: Millar, Tim Title: The Drug Data Warehouse: Linking data on drug misusers and drug-misusing offenders Summary: The Drug Data Warehouse provides a unique overview of drug misusers’ activity across the Criminal Justice System and drug treatment in a way which has not been done before. This is the first report using the Drug Data Warehouse. It provides information about this new resource and summarises the findings from initial, descriptive analysis. The analysis focuses on drug misuse (and not alcohol misuse) and in particular, the use of opiates and crack cocaine, as heroin and crack cocaine are the drugs associated with the highest levels of harm and account for 99% of the £15.4 billion social and economic cost of drug use. The report provides information on: levels of drug use of different groups of individuals within the Drug Data Warehouse; and the different treatment and criminal justice groups individuals have contact with and their movement within these groups. This report will be of interest to policymakers and practitioners both locally and nationally, as well as researchers interested in the potential the Drug Data Warehouse offers for further analysis.

Author: Great Britain. Ministry of Justice Title: Proven Re-Offending Statistics: Definitions and Measurement Summary: The Ministry of Justice launched a statistical consultation on improvements to the transparency and accessibility of our information in 2010 and a response to the consultation was published in March 2011. One aspect of the consultation was the measurement of proven re-offending. Responses have supported the proposals to move to a single framework for measuring re-offending where adult and youth data can be provided at the national and local level on a consistent basis. The response to the consultation is available here: www.justice.gov.uk/downloads/consultations/improvements-moj-statistics-consultation-response.pdf Prior to this consultation there were six different measures of proven re-offending: national adult proven re-offending; local adult proven re-offending; national youth proven re-offending; local youth proven re-offending; Prolific and other Priority Offending (PPO); and drug-misusing proven offending. The current framework for measuring proven re-offending integrates these approaches into a single framework. This allows users to: form a clear picture of proven re-offending at national and local levels; compare adult and youth results, and enable other work on transition between the youth and adult system; understand how results for different offender groups (such as those managed by the prison and probation services, those under the PPO schemes, drug-misusing offenders, first time entrants, etc) fit in to the overall picture on proven re-offending; and continue to be able to analyse proven re-offending behaviour of particular types of offender.

Author: Williams, Nigel Title: Alcohol and Crime Summary: Alcohol impinges on crime from several directions. Some offences are defined in relation to alcohol, concerning the degree or manner of consumption permitted. Other offences are increased in frequency by the effect of alcohol on the perpetrator or, in some cases, the victim. Strategies to reduce alcohol-related crime can attempt to alter the behaviour of society so that fewer people drink enough to transgress, or to address problem drinking in known offenders. Estimates of the cost to the NHS depend to some extent on attributing a set proportion of the blame for each type of illness or accident to alcohol. On that slightly crude basis, the Department of Health estimated £2.7 billion (2006/7 prices) annually. Details: London: CIVITAS Institute for the Study of Civil Society, 2012. 6p.

Author: Great Britain. Ministry of Justice Title: An Overview of Sexual Offending in England and Wales Summary: This report brings together, for the first time, a range of official statistics from across the crime and criminal justice system, providing an overview of sexual offending in England and Wales. Most of the information presented in this report has been previously published in other official statistics bulletins. The report is structured to highlight: the victim experience; the police role in recording and detecting the crimes; how the various criminal justice agencies deal with an offender once identified; and the criminal histories of sex offenders. Providing such an overview presents a number of challenges, not least that the available information comes from different sources that do not necessarily cover the same period, the same people (victims or offenders) or the same offences. For example, the results from the Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW) are based on self completed questions from a representative sample of adults (aged 16 to 59), asking about an individual's experiences of sexual offences in the last 12 months. The police recorded and court information cover all sexual offences, as legislated for in law, committed against any individual irrespective of age or when the crime took place, but exclude the large volume of crimes not reported to the police. Other issues that prevent direct comparisons include: the CSEW focusing on the most recent experience of adults as a victim of sexual offence in the previous 12 months (thus, for example, does not include sexual offences experienced by children or those aged 60 or over); police recorded crime figures being based on offences per victim (i.e. for each victim in a given incident, a crime is recorded) in the year the crime was reported, irrespective of when the offence took place; the criminal justice outcome information (e.g. cautions and convictions) being on an offender basis at the date of the final outcome, again irrespective of when the crime took place.

Author: McKee, Chris Title: Crime Outcomes in England and Wales 2013/14 Summary: BACKGROUND - THE NEW OUTCOMES FRAMEWORK - A new, broader outcomes framework was introduced in two phases from April 2013. This framework, containing 19 categories, covers the full range of ways in which the police can deal with a crime. - Full data based on this new framework are not yet available. However, in this bulletin preliminary findings based on partial data are presented, and plans for the July 2015 bulletin are outlined. 2013/14 OUTCOMES DATA The key findings from the 2013/14 outcomes data were: - Between 2012/13 and 2013/14 the proportion of all offences dealt with by a charge/summons increased from 16.5 per cent to 17.2 per cent, mainly due to an increase in the number of theft offences dealt with in this way. This is the highest rate since the introduction of the National Crime Recording Standard (NCRS) in 2002/03. - The change in the charge/summons rate varied considerably by offence type, generally reflecting the changes in recorded crime between the two years. This was indicated by the charge/summons rates remaining fairly similar. The number of charge/summons increased for theft offences (up 6%), violent offences (up 6%), and sexual offences (up 17%), but fell for robbery (down 8%) and criminal damage offences (down 4%). - Charge/summons rates vary considerably by offence type. Over two thirds (68%) of "possession of weapons" offences were dealt with via a charge/summons, while around one in nine (11%) of theft offences were. - The number of offences dealt with by a caution in 2013/14 fell for all offence types compared with the previous year, with a particularly large percentage fall for robbery offences (down 41%, from 282 to 166). This was partly due to changes in the guidance on issuing cautions. Details: London: Home Office, 2014. 42p.
