All personal crime per 10,000 adults $Personal crimes refer to the following offence categories: wounding, assault with minor injury, assault with no injury, sexual offences, robbery, theft from the person, and other personal theft. The BCS does not cover personal crimes against those aged under 16 or not living in private households. In the data presented here, \'all personal crime\' excludes sexual offences; the number of sexual offences picked up by the survey is too small to give reliable estimates and these figures are not provided.$
