<p>The Home Office collects data on the number of stalking offences recorded by the
police forces in England and Wales. Information on these offences can be found in
the Home Office Open Data Tables for police recorded crime, available here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/police-recorded-crime-open-data-tables"

</p><p>We expect the police to investigate all crimes that are reported to them. All
forces will suspend crime investigations if, after initial investigation, they conclude
that there are no further lines of enquiry to pursue because there is no evidence
trail or witnesses. These decisions are an operational matter for forces, but investigations
can be reopened at any time should further evidence come to light. Information on
the outcomes of offences recorded by the police is routinely published by the Home
Office and can be found here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/crime-outcomes-in-england-and-wales-statistics"
