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 sort1999-00Click here to sort2000-01Click here to sort2001-02Click here to sort2002-03Implementation of the National Crime Recording Standard from April 2002.
