You asked
I have obtained data from your publications named 'Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW) perception and Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) by Police Force Area (PFA)' for all years of data available from 2013 to 2023. The years 2014 and 2021 are not available online.
I would like to know if the following data is available:
- CSEW perception and ASB data by Police Force Area 2014
- CSEW perception and ASB data by Police Force Area 2021
If this data is not publicly available, I would like to know the reason why it has not been published.
We said
Thank you for your enquiry.
There is no dataset for 2021 due to the suspension of face-to-face interviewing during the coronavirus pandemic. Between March 2020 and October 2021, the Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW) did not operate, with a telephone-operated version (TCSEW) used instead. Although the TCSEW was designed to continue measuring crime during this period, it was a shorter variant of the main survey and was not able to collect this level of data.
As for 2014, data on the perceptions and ratings of the local police is available via the following link:
