Crime in England and Wales: year ending March 2022
Beth sydd yn y bwletin?
- Patterns of crime over the last two years have been substantially affected by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and government restrictions on social contact. While periods of national lockdown have seen decreases in the incidence of many types of crime, fraud and computer misuse offences have not followed a lockdown-related pattern and have increased substantially.
- Since restrictions were lifted following the third national lockdown in early 2021, police recorded crime data show indications that certain offence types are returning to or exceeding the levels seen before the pandemic. While violence and sexual offences recorded by the police have exceeded pre-coronavirus pandemic levels, theft offences and robbery remain at a lower level despite increases over the last twelve months.
- In this bulletin, the Telephone-operated Crime Survey for England and Wales (TCSEW) provides crime estimates for the year ending March 2022. The Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW), which resumed in October 2021, has allowed us to provide prevalence estimates of domestic abuse and sexual assault for the first time since the year ending March 2020 [note 1].
