YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The statistics are split into police recorded crime and a crime survey of people’s experiences of crime.

The ONS estimates there were about 1.1m incidents of violent crime, ranging from threats and jostling to assault and murder, which was little changed on the previous year.

The number of robbery offences remained broadly similar, at 82,678, but shoplifting increased by 5%, from 492,660 offences the previous year to 519,381.
