Q
Increase in crime…
A
Crime rate for England and Wales has doubled to more than 11.6m offences, according to the latest figures
The sharp increase in the headline figures is due to the inclusion of an estimated 5.1m online fraud incidents and 2.5m cybercrime offences for the first time.
The crime survey for England and Wales (based on people’s experience of crime) shows that the underlying crime rate, excluding cybercrime, continued to fall, by 8% to an estimated 6.5m offences in the 12 months to June.
