Police forces in the United Kingdom are routinely required to provide crime statistics to government
bodies and the recording criteria is set nationally. However, the systems used for recording these
figures are not generic, nor are the procedures used locally in capturing the crime data. It should be
noted that for these reasons this force's response to your questions should not be used for
comparison purposes with any other response you may receive.
