<p>The Home Office publishes information on crime outcomes, including the proportion
of crimes that are assigned each outcome and how long it took for these outcomes to
be assigned.</p><p>Information on the proportion of outcomes assigned by outcome type
can be found in Table 2.2 in the data tables published alongside Crime Outcomes in
England and Wales, year ending March 2017, available here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/crime-outcomes-in-england-and-wales-2016-to-2017"

on how long it has taken for these outcomes to be assigned can be found in Table 5.2
in the same link. This table includes information in the proportion of outcomes that
were assigned on the same day as the offence was recorded.</p><p>We expect the police
to investigate all crimes, and investigations can be reopened at any point should
new evidence come to light.</p>
