The CSEW time-series contains a break between March 2020 and June 2022 because of the suspension of face-to-face interviewing during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Telephone-operated Crime Survey for England and Wales (TCSEW) data collected during this period are not directly comparable and not part of the main CSEW time-series."
