Crime Survey for England and Wales

The Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW) is an ongoing research project that measures how much crime actually occurs by asking thousands of people about their experiences and perceptions. It provides insight into crimes that might not be reported to police, such as theft or assault. The survey helps authorities understand trends over time, identify areas needing attention, and develop policies to improve public safety. It complements official police crime figures, offering a broader picture of crime and its impact on communities.
