Violent Crime
- Question
- How many violent crimes were recorded in England in (a) 1987, (b) 1997 and (c) 2007.
- Answer
-
The figures are not directly comparable as there have been major changes in the way violent crime is recorded. The term ““violence against the person”” rather than ““violent crime”” is now used. There were 132,942 offences recorded by the police in England in 1987; 233,441 offences in 1997; and 976,638 offences in 2006-07.
