British Crime Survey

The British Crime Survey (BCS) is a large, nationally representative survey of adults aged 16 and over living in private households in England and Wales. It has been conducted eight times since 1982 (since 1992 it has been conducted every two years). In future, it will be conducted annually.

The main purpose of the BCS is to provide a measure of crime, including crimes not reported to the police. Each survey measures experiences of victimisation in the preceding year. The survey also collects information about a range of crime-related issues, including concern about crime, perceptions of disorder and contact with and attitudes towards the police.

Further details about the British Crime Survey can be found on www.homeoffice.gov.uk/rds/bcs1.html.
