Written question asked by Lord Hanningfield (Conservative), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Baroness Scotland of Asthal (Labour) on Monday, 26 June 2006.
Police: Reorganisation
- Question
- What was (a) the crime rate for each recorded category of offence, and (b) the detection rate for each police force throughout England and Wales broken down by forces numbering (i) under 4,000, and (ii) over 4,000, in each of the past 10 years.
- Answer
-
The statistical information requested is too detailed to be placed as a formal answer. I will place a copy in the House Library. In April 1998, the Home Office counting rules for recorded crime were expanded to include certain additional summary offences. In April 2002, the national crime recording standard was introduced to ensure greater consistency between forces in recording crime and to take a more victim-oriented approach to crime recording. Both these changes resulted in an increase in the number of crimes recorded, and need to be considered when looking at the trends in recorded crime.
