Richard,

Surely simple enough to have 2 datasets – the (more reliable) BCS and one looking at non-BCS violent crime (against under 16s, against businesses and homicides I think) and draw inferences from that?

Surprised – if this is a quest for truth (hah) Grayling and the Tories don’t do this.

I can help re homicides – there were 739 in 1997 and 648 in 2008-09. A massive rise?

Unity, Dominic Grieve repeats Grayling’s assertions in our new film, The Fear Factory (see post on this site) – this is a clear Tory party policy to scare the public into voting blue.

Could we by any chance have a survey that doesn’t exclude certain crimes (which the BCS does)?

I apologise for constantly posting this but in the past the Home Office has produced figures suggesting crime is much higher than the BCS suggests – http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/rds/pdfs/hors217.pdf

The only way to ensure trust in crime figures and to determine whether crime really is falling or rising is to use some form of survey/record that doesn’t exclude any crimes.
