What this measures

The number of offences recorded by the police in England and Wales for every offence and offence group in the ONS appendix table, for each year ending March since 2003. Coded rows are individual Home Office offence codes; rows marked (subtotal) are the groups the ONS prints without a code.

Offences whose code was retired or introduced part way through the series (shown as unavailable for those years), or fraud reported to Action Fraud and Report Fraud for the latest year.
