The Police Service of Northern Ireland produces statistics on the number of crimes reported to police in Northern Ireland. Statistics are published on a financial year basis and a comparable data series has been available since 1998/99. These statistics are collected in accordance with the National Crime Recording Standard (NCRS) and the Home Office Counting Rules (HOCR). Except for some differences in legislation, they are comparable with police recorded crime statistics in England & Wales.

With approximately 122.1 crimes per 1,000 population, Cleveland, in North East England, had the highest crime rate of all the police force areas in England and Wales in 2024/25. High crime rates are evident in other areas of northern England, such as West Yorkshire and Greater Manchester at 114.5 and 108.2, respectively. In the UK capital, London, the crime rate was 105.5 per 1,000 people. The lowest crime rate in England was in the relatively rural areas of Wiltshire in South West England, as well as North Yorkshire. Overall crime in England and Wales The number of crimes in England and Wales reached approximately 6.74 million in 2022/23, falling slightly to 6.66 million in 2023/24, and 6.59 million in 2024/25. Overall crime has been rising steadily across England and Wales for almost a decade, even when adjusted for population rises. In 2022/23, for example, the crime rate in England and Wales was 93.6, the highest since 2006/07. When compared with the rest of the United Kingdom, England and Wales is something of an outlier, as crime rates for Scotland and Northern Ireland have not followed the same trajectory of rising crime. Additionally, there has been a sharp increase in violent crimes and sexual offences since the mid-2010s in England and Wales. While theft offences have generally been falling, the number of shoplifting offences reached a peak of 530,640 in 2024/25. Troubled justice system under pressure Alongside rising crime figures, many indicators also signal that the justice system is getting pushed to breaking point. The percentage of crimes that are solved in England and Wales was just 5.7 percent in 2023, with sexual offences having a clearance rate of just 3.6 percent. Crimes are also taking far longer than usual to pass through the justice system. In 2022, it took an average of 407 days for a crown court case to reach a conclusion from the time of the offence, compared with 233 days in 2018. This is most likely related to the large backlog of cases in crown courts, which reached over 67,750 in 2023. Furthermore, prisons in England and Wales are dangerously overcrowded, with the government even releasing some prisoners early to address the issue.

The Global Violent Deaths (GVD) database integrates indicators on the major causes of lethal interpersonal and communal violence—intentional and unintentional homicides, killings in legal interventions, and direct conflict deaths—and combines them in a single violent deaths indicator. These indicators are also reported in a disaggregated format by the sex of the victim and perpetration mechanism, namely firearm killings. The GVD database tracks this information across 222 countries and territories worldwide yearly from 2004 and reports both crude counts and rates per 100,000 population. The input data is retrieved from reliable sources, such as governments, national and international organizations, trusted non-governmental organizations, and verified media outlets. Missing data points are estimated using the methods described in this document.

The GVD database is updated annually by the Small Arms Survey, an associated programme of the Geneva Graduate Institute, which strengthens the capacity of governments and practitioners to reduce illicit arms flows and armed violence. This is done through three mutually reinforcing activities: the generation of policy-relevant knowledge, the development of authoritative resources and tools, and the provision of training and other services. The GVD database benefits from financial support from governments and organizations, and notably its core donors, who are publicly disclosed online. The Small Arms Survey follows rigorous procedures to ensure that the input data, the applied methods, and the results are of reasonable quality. If the user encounters apparent errors, they should contact us via email at media@smallarmssurvey.org.

Regions, sub-regions, countries, and territories are defined based on the classification system used by the UN Statistical Division (2013 revision), except for Kosovo, England and Wales, Northern Ireland, and Scotland. The names and designations reported in the database do not imply any sort of endorsement by the Small Arms Survey.

The 2010 Northern Ireland Multiple Deprivation Measure (NIMDM 2010) comprises seven domains of deprivation, each developed to measure a distinct form or type of deprivation. The NIMDM 2010 is a combination of all seven deprivation domains, weighted as follows: Income Deprivation (25%); Employment Deprivation (25%); Health Deprivation and Disability (15%); Education Skills and Training Deprivation (15%); Proximity to Services (10%); Living Environment (5%); and Crime and Disorder (5%). Results are provided for these domains and the overall multiple deprivation measure in the form of ranks. Areas are ordered from most deprived (rank 1) to least deprived. The main output geography for the deprivation measures is the Super Output Area. The Northern Ireland Multiple Deprivation Measure 2010 report is available at https://www.nisra.gov.uk/publications/northern-ireland-multiple-deprivation-measure-2010 Please note that the csv deprivation files were created by the Open Data Team as a sample csv for NISRA.

The Townsend Deprivation Index is a measure of material deprivation first introduced by Peter Townsend in 1987. A Townsend score can be calculated using a combination of four census variables for any geographical area (provided census data is available for that area). The measure has been widely used in research for health, education and crime to establish whether relationships exist with deprivation. The Townsend scores below were calculated for the UK based on data from the 2011 Census and include a discussion with geographical visualisations of the findings.

This is a series of 20 cognitive interviews conducted with members of the UK general public in June and July 2011 as part of the PSE-UK Main Survey questionnaire design process. Cognitive interviewing is designed to identify cognition, recall, judgement and response problems associated with survey questions as well as to identify any sensitivity issues arising for respondents. The aim of this work is to reduce misinterpretation and confusion created by unclear questions and thereby to help reduce measurement error in the estimates derived from the sample survey data. Based upon expert review by the PSE-UK team, a range of items for potential inclusion in the PSE-UK survey were selected for cognitive testing relating to necessities, housing, local services, household finances and subjective poverty, education and parenting, economic participation, health and disability, life satisfaction, and crime and social harm.The ESRC has funded a major research project into Poverty and Social Exclusion in the UK. This project is a collaboration between the University of Bristol, University of Glasgow, Heriot Watt University, Open University, Queen’s University (Belfast), University of York, National Centre for Social Research and the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency. The project commences in April 2010 and will run for three-and-a-half years. The primary purpose is to advance the 'state of the art' of the theory and practice of poverty and social exclusion measurement. In order to improve current measurement methodologies, the research will develop and repeat the 1999 Poverty and Social Exclusion Survey. This research will produce information of immediate and direct interest to policy makers, academics and the general public. It will provide a rigorous and detailed independent assessment on progress towards the UK Government's target of eradicating child poverty. Objectives This research has three main objectives; To improve the measurement of poverty, deprivation, social exclusion and standard of living. To assess changes in poverty and social exclusion in the UK To conduct policy-relevant analyses of poverty and social exclusion Further information Contact: Prof David Gordon Email: dave.gordon@bristol.ac.uk Telephone: 0117 9546761 Website: <a href="https://webmail.rcuk.ac.uk/OWA/redir.aspx?C=e8c3455a3040429c9d3e88f76ccaa9f8& www.poverty.ac.uk An interview protocol was developed which included all the items selected for testing. The expected duration of cognitive interviews was 60-70 mins in total and interviews were conducted with a total of 20 respondents. Within the constraints of the achieved sample size and duration of the interviews it was not possible to undertake cognitive testing of all survey items for potential inclusion in the PSE-UK survey. Items for inclusion in the cognitive pilot were selected on the basis of expert review by the PSE-UK team. Our focus was upon existing 1999 PSE items which have been subject to significant changes of question wording, additional items which have not been extensively tested in other existing large-scale surveys, and any items which may be subject to significant item response problems in the context of a survey of this nature. In order to ensure that all selected survey items were adequately tested, the testing was split across four different questionnaire schedules, each testing a different set of questions. Although different questionnaires were used, some questions were included in more than one phase in order to cover sufficient respondents where significant item response problems were evident. Items were tested using a combination of think aloud techniques and follow-up cognitive probing methods. Scripted probes were used to explore specific aspects of the survey response process as appropriate to the specific items in question relating to:  how respondents understood key concepts and terms (cognition)  how they retrieved from memory the information needed to answer the question (recall)  how they deliberated on their response to the questions (judgment)  how they tailored their answers to the response categories offered (response)  whether any sensitivities existed within the questions Interviews were semi-structured, allowing interviewers to probe on additional issues as and when they arose. However, since the full questionnaire is not subject to cognitive testing, response issues relating to item ordering, their placement in relation to other related items, and respondent fatigue effects are unlikely to be detected here (though these problems will be evident in the full field pilot).

Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner. The main purpose of the research was to establish the prevalence rates of disability within the Northern Ireland household population. That is, the study aimed to provide us with estimates of the numbers of people with different types of disability. The definition of disability for the purposes of the NISALD was based on the concepts of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) which was developed and endorsed by the World Health Organisation. The NISALD series of questionnaires included an initial set of questions that established the type, nature and severity of disabilities. The survey instrument also included questions dedicated to collecting information on the socio-economic characteristics of the respondents and their perceptions of the environment in which they live. Fieldwork for adults and children living in private households was carried out throughout 2006 and was completed in early 2007. Results are planned to be released via a series of bulletins. The first bulletin containing top-line results from NISALD was published on 5 July 2007. Results showed that, in 2006/07, 18% of all people living in private households in Northern Ireland have some degree of disability. The prevalence rate for adults is 21% and 6% for children. If researchers or other interested parties require more in-depth analysis to be carried out requiring the use of string variables such as ‘cause of limitation’, which are not included in the UK Data Archive version, they should contact NISRA to discuss their needs. NISRA may be able to complete analysis on their behalf, thus ensuring any sensitive data remains protected.

COVID-19 and COVID-related decisions are having significant impacts on children and adults vulnerable to, and already experiencing, the crime of forced marriage. This mixed-methods project aimed to chart and understand this impact, inform evaluation of the UK's response to COVID-19, and shape on-going policy regarding the UK's pandemic response. This collection includes a timeline of key COVID-19 related events and government restrictions. This includes key data such as when COVID-19 (and variations) was discovered, and when significant case numbers were reached globally and in the UK. It also includes detail of when key forced marriage-related COVID-19 restrictions were brought in, and lifted, in 2020, and 2021, across the UK and also in each of the devolved jurisdictions. Plus processed data from this timeline, including visualisations.COVID-19 and COVID-related decisions are having significant impacts on children and adults vulnerable to, and already experiencing, the crime of forced marriage. Our mixed-methods project will chart and understand this impact, inform evaluation of the UK's response to COVID-19, and shape on-going policy regarding the UK's pandemic response. We consider the uneven economic and social impact of the pandemic, and the ethical dimensions of unequal impacts of COVID-related decision-making, on this vulnerable group, and seek to impact how civil society and the voluntary sector support vulnerable people. The government's Forced Marriage Unit (FMU) and the charity Karma Nirvana (KN) (which provides a national forced marriage helpline) have warned about the significant impact of the pandemic on forced marriage in the UK. We designed this project with both organisations, and will work with them to analyse quantitative and qualitative data about the impact of COVID-19 on those at risk of, or experiencing, forced marriage; and to record and analyse the challenges faced in the pandemic, evaluate the efficacy of mitigation strategies, and formulate new policies and practises for protection and response. Within the first 6 months, we will have co-created an accurate account of the economic and social impact of COVID-19 and COVID-related decision-making on victims of forced marriage, and the ethical implications of unequal impacts. We will then continue to chart the changing risk environment, while co-developing policy reports and recommendations for the UK government (including FMU), NGO practice responses (including KN), and other stakeholders, to improve the on-going response to COVID-19 and build community resilience. We collected information from public websites, including UK government website, official airline carrier websites (and their Twitter feeds), and news media. We were particularly interested in a pre-set set of criteria, including: regulations relating to national and local “lockdowns” (or “stay at home” orders), restrictions on gatherings, school closures, restrictions relating to weddings, closures or access to places of religion, travel and shielding. In addition, we looked for any key dates or statistics for the pandemic at a global scale, and international travel restrictions relating to Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and Afghanistan (because these are countries which regularly feature as "focus countries" in Forced Marriage Unit Data. We took a chronological approach, starting with UK-wide and global events, then focusing on England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and other countries. We made visulisations of data on regional and local lockdowns in 2020 using tableau, and also used the data collected to count how many days regions in England were under different Covid-19 restrictions relevant to vulnerability to forced marriage.

Co-ordinated by the Statistical Service of the Ministry of Justice of the Netherlands, this study aims at obtaining comparable data on crime in various countries. Since official statistics provide information that is heavily dependent on the organization of the police and the justice system in each country, the study's approach is to study the incidence of crime in the population - the degree of victimization in the population - by means of an international survey of the population. 14 countries participated in the 1989 survey: USA, Canada, Australia, France, England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Spain, Federal Republic of Germany, Switzerland, Netherlands, Belgium, Norway and Finland, as well as two cities, Warsaw (Poland) and Surabaja (Indonesia). Japan participated on the basis of a somewhat modified questionnaire and sampling. The survey was resumed in 1992 in the following countries: England, the Netherlands, Belgium, Finland, USA, Canada, Australia, and additionally Sweden, Italy, New Zealand, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Georgia, Estonia, Indonesia and Costa Rica. On the other hand, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Germany, Switzerland, France, Norway, Spain and Japan didn't take part. Selected cities in the following countries also took part: Argentina, Albania, India, South Africa, Russia, Slovenia, Uganda, Brazil, Philippines, Egypt, Tanzania, Tunisia, China. The following crimes were investigated by the investigation: car theft, motorcycle theft, moped theft and bicycles theft, burglary, robbery, simple theft and pickpocketing, sexual assault, assault and battery, threats. Respondents who were victims of such crimes were asked a few brief questions about the place of the offense, the material consequences, the report to the police, the satisfaction with the police action, and the received assistance. All the interviewees were also asked to express themselves about their fear of crime, their satisfaction with the local police, their preventive attitude towards crime, how severely they would sentence a 21-year-old repeat burglar. Note that the questionnaire has evolved between successive surveys. After 1992, the survey was resumed twice at the international level and once at the Swiss level. In total, the following survey waves were completed: 1989 international survey (with Swiss participation) 1992 international survey (without Swiss participation) 1996 international survey (with Swiss participation) 1998 Swiss survey 2000 international survey (with Swiss participation) Coordonnée par le service de statistique du Ministère de la justice des Pays-Bas, cette recherche vise à obtenir dans divers pays des données comparables sur la criminalité. Comme la statistique officielle fournit des informations fortement dépendantes de l'organisation de la police et de la justice dans chaque pays, la voie choisie consiste à étudier l'incidence de la criminalité dans la population - le degré de victimisation de celle-ci - au moyen d'une enquête internationale auprès de la population. 14 pays ont participé à l'enquête de 1989: USA, Canada, Australie, France, Angleterre, Ecosse, Irlande du Nord, Espagne, République fédérale d'Allemagne, Suisse, Pays-Bas, Belgique, Norvège, Finlande, ainsi que deux villes, Varsovie (Pologne) et Surabaja (Indonésie). La Japon a pris part sur la base d'un questionnaire et d'un échantillonnage quelque peu modifiés. L'enquête a été reprise en 1992 dans les pays suivants: Angleterre, Pays-Bas, Belgique, Finlande, USA, Canada, Australie, auxquels sont venus s'ajouter la Suède, l'Italie, la Nouvelle Zélande, la Pologne, la République Tchèque, la Slovaquie, la Géorgie, l'Estonie, l'Indonésie et le Costa Rica. Par contre, l'Ecosse, l'Irlande du Nord, l'Allemagne, la Suisse, la France, la Norvège, l'Espagne et le Japon ont renoncé. Des villes sélectionnées dans les pays suivants ont également pris part: Argentine, Albanie, Inde, Afrique du Sud, Russie, Slovénie, Ouganda, Brésil, Philippines, Egypte, Tanzanie, Tunisie, Chine. Les crimes et délits suivants ont été pris en compte par l'enquête: le vol de voiture, motos, motocyclettes, vélomoteurs et bicyclettes, le vol par effraction, le brigandage, le vol simple et à la tire, les violences sexuelles, les coups et blessures, les menaces. Aux répondants victimes de tels crimes ont été posées quelques courtes questions sur le lieu du délit, les conséquences matérielles, la dénonciation à la police, la satisfaction quant à l'action de la police, l'assistance reçue. L’ensemble des interviewés avaient en outre à s'exprimer sur la peur du crime, la satisfaction vis-à-vis de la police locale, leur attitude préventive face au crime, la peine à laquelle ils condamneraient un cambrioleur récidiviste de 21 ans. A noter que le questionnaire a évolué entre les enquêtes successives. Après 1992, l'enquête a été reprise deux fois au niveau international et une fois au niveau suisse. En tout, les vagues de relevé de données suivantes ont été réalisées: 1989 relevé international (avec participation suisse) 1992 relevé international (sans participation suisse) 1996 relevé international (avec participation suisse) 1998 relevé suisse 2000 relevé international (avec participation suisse)
