Neighbourhood Policing
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps she is taking to help improve the effectiveness of the (a) collection and (b) dissemination of neighbourhood crime data.
Answered by Dame Diana Johnson
Information on offences including vehicle-related theft, domestic burglary, theft from the person and robbery of personal property is routinely included in the Office for National Statistics (ONS) Crime Survey for England Wales and by the Home Office from police forces based on crimes reported to the police in England and Wales. The ONS already publishes such data in their quarterly ‘Crime in England and Wales’ statistics release.
