Geographical Area: England and Wales

Unit of Measurement: Percentage (%)

Footnote:

1. Crime Survey estimates for the year ending March 2023 and year ending March 2022 are not designated as National Statistics. Caution should be taken when using these data because of the potential impact of lower response rates on data quality. Estimates for the year ending March 2020, and all previous years, are designated as National Statistics.

2. Estimates for the year ending March 2022 are based on six months of data collection from the face-to-face Crime Survey for England and Wales between October 2021 and March 2022. Estimates for the year ending March 2023 are based on eight months of data collection from the face-to-face Crime Survey for England and Wales, excludng data between October 2022 to January 2023 inclusive. Caution should be taken when using these data due to the impact of the reduced data collection period and lower response rates on the quality of the estimates.

3. Concerns around confidentiality and respondent safeguarding led to domestic abuse questions being excluded from the Telephone Crime Survery for England and Wales (TCSEW). Therefore, there is no data available for the year ending March 2021.

4. From April 2017, the upper age limit for the self-completion module was increased to ask all respondents aged 16 to 74. From October 2021, the upper age limit for the self-completion module was removed. Figures for 16 to 59 year olds are presented to allow comparisons to be made over a longer time period.

5. Please note the y axis does not always go to 100% for ease of visualisation.
