Paper 1

The Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW) asks people living in households about their experiences of crime, including incidents they did not report to the police. It is therefore better suited to tracking long-term trends in the offences it covers than police records alone. These statistics concern England and Wales, not the whole of Britain.
