We said

Thank you for your request.  

Unfortunately, we are unable to provide you with the data you require from the Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW). In order to answer your request, we would need to use a high level of statistical expertise and judgement to create a new information as an ad hoc analysis. Under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) 2000, public authorities are not obligated to create information in response to requests. This information therefore is not held for FOI purposes.  

Decisions on publishing user requested data are made on a case-by-case basis. Unfortunately, at present we have very little resource within the team to carry out any ad-hoc requests. If you have any questions, please contact crimestatistics@ons.gov.uk.
