From the information collected centrally, it is not possible to identify those offences which are alcohol related. Such offences are not specifically defined by statute and details of the individual circumstances of offences do not feature in the recorded crime data series.The British Crime Survey (BCS) provides information on the proportion of violent incidents in England and Wales where the offender was thought to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs. According to the latest BCS (2005-06) the offender was thought to be under the influence of alcohol in 44 per cent. of violent incidents. This level is as it was in 2001-02 (the apparent fall from 47 to 44 per cent. is not statistically significant). See Table 1 for figures from 2001-02 to 2005-06.The proportion of other crime related incidents where the offender was thought be under the influence of alcohol has not been estimated.This information was published by the Home Office in the Crime in England and Wales 2005-06 and Violent Crime Overview, Homicide and Gun crime 2004-05 publications. This information is via Home Office websites"http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/rds/crimeew0506.html and""http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/rds/crimeew0405.html."
