Recorded crime data at local authority level

The datasets contain recorded crime figures for local authorities. The data are rolling 12 month totals, with data points shown at the end of each financial year between 2002/03 and 2006/07 and at the end of each quarter from June 2007. The local authority boundaries used for these data sets conform as closely as possible with the unitary authority / district council boundaries in place in 2007/08.
