Rate of all other theft offences per 1,000 people. Police recorded crime data are supplied to the Office for National Statistics (ONS) by the Home Office. All other thefts include Police-recorded crimes of theft which do not fit into the other (previous) theft categories, including theft of mail, theft by an employee, theft of property not in the physical possession of the owner (i.e. a phone on a table), making off without payment and theft in a house (where entry is not gained by trespassing). It also includes some types of forgery and possession, supplying or making things for use in fraud. This excludes burglary, robbery, vehicle crime, handling stolen goods and shoplifting. The rate was calculated using the previous year’s population mid-year estimate. |
