Description: <P>Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.</P><p>The&nbsp;<em>Crime Survey for England and Wales</em>&nbsp;(CSEW)&nbsp;asks a sole adult, in a random sample of households, about&nbsp;their, or their household's, experience of crime victimisation in the previous 12 months. These are recorded in the victim form data file (VF). A wide range of questions are then asked covering demographics and crime-related subjects such as attitudes to the police and the criminal justice system (CJS) these variables are contained within the non-victim form (NVF) data file. In 2009, the survey was extended to children aged 10-15 years old; one resident of that age range is also selected from the household and asked about their experience of crime, and other related topics. The first set of children's data covered January-December 2009 and is held separately under SN 6601. From 2009-2010, the children's data cover the same period as the adult data and are included with the main study.</p><p>The CSEW was formerly known as the British Crime Survey (BCS), and has been in existence since 1981. The 1982 and 1988 BCS waves were also conducted in Scotland (data held separately under SNs 4368 and 4599). Since 1993, separate&nbsp;<a title="Scottish Crime and Justice Surveys" href="https://beta.ukdataservice.ac.uk/datacatalogue/series/series?id=2000046">Scottish Crime and Justice Surveys</a>&nbsp;have been conducted. Up to 2001, the BCS was conducted biennially. From April 2001, the Office for National Statistics took over the survey and it became the CSEW. Interviewing was then carried out continually and reported on in financial year cycles. The crime reference period was altered to accommodate this.&nbsp;</p><p>Further information may be found on the ONS&nbsp;<a title="Crime Survey for England and Wales" href="https://www.ons.gov.uk/surveys/informationforhouseholdsandindividuals/householdandindividualsurveys/crimesurveyforenglandandwales">Crime Survey for England and Wales</a>&nbsp;web page and for the previous BCS, from the GOV.UK&nbsp;<a title="BCS Methodology" href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/british-crime-survey-methodology">BCS Methodology</a>&nbsp;web page.</p><p> </p><p><em>Secure Access data<br></em>In addition to the main survey, a series of questions covering drinking behaviour, drug use, self-offending, gangs and personal security, and intimate personal violence (IPV) (including stalking and sexual victimisation) are asked of adults via a laptop-based self-completion module (questions may vary over the years). Children aged 10-15 years also complete a separate self-completion questionnaire. The questionnaires are included in the main documentation, but the data are only available under Secure Access conditions (see SN 7280), not with the main study. In addition, from 2011 onwards, lower-level geographic variables are also available under Secure Access conditions (see SN 7311).<br><br><span style="font-style: italic;">New methodology for capping the number of incidents from 2017-18</span><br>The CSEW datasets available from 2017-18 onwards are based on a new methodology of capping the number of incidents at the 98th percentile. Incidence variables names have remained consistent with previously supplied data but due to the fact they are based on the new 98th percentile cap, and old datasets are not, comparability has been lost with years prior to 2012-2013. More information can be found in the 2017-18 User Guide (see SN 8464) and the article ‘<a title="Improving victimisation estimates derived from the Crime Survey for England and Wales" href="https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/crimeandjustice/articles/improvingvictimisationestimatesderivedfromthecrimesurveyforenglandandwales/2019-01-24">Improving victimisation estimates derived from the Crime Survey for England and Wales</a>’.&nbsp;</p>
The 2000 BCS was the largest wave of the survey to date, with a target sample of 24,000 households in England and Wales, including an ethnic booster sample of 4,000 black and Asian adults. As with the previous surveys, the aim was to gather information on respondents' experience of crime over the previous 13-14 months.<br> <br> A teaching dataset, using a subset of variables from the 2000 BCS, has been developed and is held under SN 4740.<br> <br> For the fourth edition of the study (January 2007), the drugs self-completion data file was replaced with a new version that includes further derived variables. The ethnic boost sample drugs data file has not been replaced.&nbsp;From October 2016, the drug use modules are subject to Controlled data access conditions - see SN 7280.<br> <br>
<B>Main Topics</B>:<BR>
Topics covered included people's perceptions of their neighbourhood, fear of crime, victimisation experiences since 1 January 1999, and fires in the home since 1 January 1998. Two different versions of the follow-up questionnaire were used - Version A questioned respondents on whether they knew or had any contact with police officers, whether they had been stopped by the police either in a vehicle or on foot, police contact with the respondent, attitudes to the police and worries about crime. Version B questioned respondents on attitudes to sentencing, witnessing crime, Neighbourhood Watch, local crime partnerships/community action and security. <br> <br> The opportunity was taken in the 2000 BCS to test questions on a range of topics for the launch of a separate series, the <i>Home Office Citizenship Survey</i> (see above). These questions included a measure of perceived racial prejudice and questions about participation in community activities.<br>
