Crime
The Home Office’s Crime in England and Wales 2010/11 65 statistical bulletin was released in July 2011. Through
this document, key findings are reported from the British Crime Survey (BCS) and Police Recorded Crime Statistics.
The former is a face-to-face victimisation survey in which people resident in English and Welsh households are
asked about their experiences of crime in the 12 months prior to interview (a measurement of the perception of
crime). The latter denotes administrative data based on notifiable crimes that are reported to, and recorded by,
the police in England and Wales.
Across North Northants, there has been a recorded fall across six of the seven key offences between 2009/10 and
2010/11. The highest drop was in the number of instances of interference with a motor vehicle which decreased
by 35% overall. This is an area which has continued to fall significantly, year on year, since 2008. Linked to this,
vehicle theft has also fallen over this period, although not to the extent of the figures recorded last year where the
results were more marked. The number of burglaries over this period has continued to fall since 2009/10, as have
robberies and Violence against the person, although to a lesser extent. The only recorded increase in offences
related to Sexual Offences, which have increased by 29% since 2009/10.
