Click here to sort1998-99In April 1998 the Home Office Counting Rules for Recorded Crime were expanded to include certain additional summary offences and counts became more victim-based (the number of victims was counted rather than the number of offences).<br /><br />Fraud and forgery note: The new counting rules allow the recording of unreported cheque and credit card fraud offences that are discovered by the police in subsequent investigation. In some forces across England and Wales, the change in counting rules coincided with a review of recording practices for cheque and credit card fraud offences. These reviews have resulted in more reported offences being recorded, thus causing increases in recorded offences that are not directly attributable to the new rules.Click here to sort2001-02Click here to sort2002-03Implementation of the National Crime Recording Standard from April 2002. The NCRS aims to promote greater consistency between police forces in the recording of crime and to take a more victim-orientated approach to crime recording.Click here to sort2003-04Click here to sort2004-05Click here to sort2005-06Click here to sort2006-07Click here to sort2007-08Click here to sort2008-09
