Together, these documents are currently the most comprehensive source for the estimated economic and social costs of these specified crimes against individuals and businesses.</p><p>We are still reviewing more up to date estimates and therefore, as in February, we do not have any plans to publish. The review is being conducted by Home Office officials and not by external researchers.</p><p>Since the latest release of ‘The Economic and Social Costs of Crime’, the nature of crime and therefore the related costs have likely changed. For example, crime against individuals (excluding fraud and computer misuse) has reduced by 52% since 2010 according to the Crime Survey of England and Wales. This does not specifically capture the crimes costed in ‘The Economic and Social Costs of Crime’, for example the CSEW does not capture commercial crimes.</p><p>References:</p><p>Fraud Strategy, Annex 3 Fraud Strategy: stopping scams and protecting the public (accessible) - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk):</p><p>CSEW: Cell BB53 in Worksheet A1: <a href="https://gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ons.gov.uk%2Ffile%3Furi%3D%2Fpeoplepopulationandcommunity%2Fcrimeandjustice%2Fdatasets%2Fcrimeinenglandandwalesappendixtables%2Fyearendingdecember2022%2Fappendixtablesyedec22.xlsx&amp;data=05%7C01%7CDaniel.Wells%40homeoffice.gov.uk%7Ca7c41bf1a7df48aa3d2b08db8799a30f%7Cf24d93ecb2914192a08af182245945c2%7C0%7C0%7C638252866152196306%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=Gdmp00zM7DDnLaLvuEDhC5kjoMYERyKaGuBy%2BKbDTW4%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">https://www.ons.gov.uk/file?uri=/peoplepopulationandcommunity/crimeandjustice/datasets/crimeinenglandandwalesappendixtables/yearendingdecember2022/appendixtablesyedec22.xlsx</a></p><p>The Economic and Social Costs of Crime: Second Edition <a href="https://gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.publishing.service.gov.uk%2Fgovernment%2Fuploads%2Fsystem%2Fuploads%2Fattachment_data%2Ffile%2F732110%2Fthe-economic-and-social-costs-of-crime-horr99.pdf&amp;data=05%7C01%7CDaniel.Wells%40homeoffice.gov.uk%7Ca7c41bf1a7df48aa3d2b08db8799a30f%7Cf24d93ecb2914192a08af182245945c2%7C0%7C0%7C638252866152196306%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=7PGcXSfR3vukmG%2FY9uwrTK4lNhFZwn52S1BlBDqMvTI%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">The economic and social costs of crime (publishing.service.gov.uk)</a>”</p> answering member constituency Croydon South answering member printed Chris Philp question first answered 25/07/2023 15:07:23 answering member 4503 label Biography information for Chris Philp

The Home Office works closely with the police and other crime prevention partners like Police Crime Prevention Initiatives (PCPI) and the National Business Crime Centre (NBCC), to ensure we are consistently getting the basics right and to encourage the sharing of best practice, including reiterating the value of taking Victim and Business Impact Statements.</p><p>It is for individual Chief Constables and Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) as operational leaders and locally elected representatives to decide how best to deploy resources, manage and respond to individual crimes and local crime priorities.</p> answering member constituency Croydon South answering member printed Chris Philp question first answered 15/11/2022 15:41:28 answering member 4503 label Biography information for Chris Philp
