Vehicle offences (police-recorded): record highs and lows

The extremes of vehicle offences (police-recorded) as published by ONS, across the 24 periods held here (Year ending March 2003 to Year ending March 2026). Each record is a published figure, not a computed one, and the scope is this series — not “ever”.

The latest figure, 312,250 in Year ending March 2026, is the lowest in the whole published series of 24 periods. The rule: a period counts as beaten only when its figure is strictly above the latest, and the claim is only made when it reaches back at least five years.

What a record here is, and is not

A record is the extreme of the periods this site holds for the current series, at each period’s newest published release. Earlier series measured under different methods are not compared against it. Money is in cash terms: a record set years ago stands against the money of its own year.
