Page 1: Methods of Crime Statistics Collection

This page introduces the primary methods used to collect crime statistics in England and Wales, focusing on police recorded crime and the Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW). Police recorded statistics provide detailed breakdowns by offense type, geography, and time period, though they can be affected by changes in recording practices.

Definition: Victim Surveys are systematic interviews conducted with a representative population sample about their experiences with crime victimization.

Highlight: The Crime Survey for England and Wales evolved from the British Crime Survey and has been operating under its current name since 2012.

Example: The CSEW captures information about crimes not reported to police, including details about location, timing, and offender characteristics.

Vocabulary: Reliability in crime statistics refers to the consistency of results when data collection is repeated under identical conditions.
