British Crime Survey supplementary tables

From 1 April 2012, the British Crime Survey (BCS) will be known as the Crime Survey for England and Wales to better reflect its geographical coverage.

While the survey did previously cover the whole of Great Britain it ceased to include Scotland in its sample in the late 1980s. There is a separate survey – the Scottish Crime and Justice Survey – covering Scotland.

From 1 April 2012, National Statistics on crime previously published by the Home Office will be published by the Office for National Statistics (ONS).

For more information see the ONS Crime in England and Wales web page.

Crime in England and Wales 2010/11: Supplementary Tables: Nature of burglary, vehicle-related theft, bicycle theft, other household theft, personal and other theft, vandalism and violent crime.

The British Crime Survey (BCS), now the Crime Survey for England and Wales, is a victimisation survey in which people resident in households in England and Wales are asked about their experiences of crime in the 12 months prior to interview. Until recently the BCS did not cover crimes against those aged under 16, but since January 2009 interviews have been carried out with children aged 10 to 15.

The tables presented here are based on the findings from BCS interviews conducted in the 2010/11 financial year and give a picture of the nature of burglary, vehicle-related theft and violent crime. They also provide detail on other types of theft and on vandalism.

These tables expand on the information provided in the main publication ‘Crime in England and Wales 2010/11’ (Home Office Statistical Bulletin 10/11) and should be read alongside this earlier publication. The figures that appear in the following tables do not include estimates from interviews with children.

1. Nature of burglary
2. Nature of vehicle-related theft
3. Nature of bicycle theft
4. Nature of other household theft
5. Nature of personal and other theft
6. Nature of vandalism
7. Nature of violent crime
