<p>The Home Office collects data on the number of crimes recorded by the police but
not how many complaints the police receive. <br><br>Prior to 1 April 2014, offences
relating to stalking recorded by the police were included in the offence classification
of harassment and cannot be <br>identified separately. From the 1 April 2014 these
offences have been supplied to the Home Office as a separate classification of stalking.
Therefore data are only available for the months April to June 2014, when the police
recorded 695 offences. They are published in the quarterly Office for National Statistics
publication of ‘Crime in England and Wales’. <br><br>The most recent data are available
in Table A4 of the appendix tables in this link:<br><a href="http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/rel/crime-stats/crime-statistics/period-ending-june-2014/index.html"
