Résumé :
This is the sixth report in an annual publication that combines the reporting of police recorded crime and the British Crime Survey (BCS) results. The police recorded and BCS figures are a complementary series that together provide a better picture of crime than could be obtained from either series alone. The police recorded crime reports on the financial year 2006/07. Police statistics provide a good measure of trends in well-reported crimes, are an important indicator of police workload, and can be used for local crime pattern analysis. BCS results are based on interviews conducted in the financial year 2006/07. For the crime types it covers, the BCS can provide a better reflection of the true extent of crime because it includes crimes that are not reported to the police. The BCS count also gives a better indication of trends in crime over time because it is unaffected by changes in levels of reporting to the police, and in police recording practices. The report begins with a summary of the significant findings. Chapter 1 provides background information on the BCS and police recorded crime statistics. Chapter 2 comments on the level of crime in England and Wales and Chapter 3 focuses on violent crime. Chapter 4 provides information on property crime while Chapter 5 focuses on public perceptions of crime. Chapter 6 provides information on the pattern of crime across England and Wales.
