answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/02/2018 answer text <p>How police record cyber crime on their systems is an operational matter for individual police forces.</p><p>Experimental statistics on offences recorded by the police in England and Wales which were flagged as “online crime” are published quarterly by the Office for National Statistics in the statistical bulletin Crime in England and Wales. The latest statistics, covering year to September 2017 can be found here:</p><p><a href="https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/crimeandjustice/datasets/crimeinenglandandwalesexperimentaltables" target="_blank">https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/crimeandjustice/datasets/crimeinenglandandwalesexperimentaltables</a></p><p>Work is ongoing with forces to improve the quality of the data submitted in this collection. There are some large variations in the proportion of offences flagged by each force depending on crime type and there is anecdotal evidence to suggest that the flag is currently underused. Therefore, going forward, with improved identification of online related offences, the proportion of all offences flagged as being online related is likely to increase.</p><p>Furthermore, offences of cybercrime may be recorded by Action Fraud, the UK’s national fraud and cybercrime reporting centre. Cyber crime offences (also known as offences committed under the Computer Misuse Act) are recorded in accordance with Home Office counting rules under the relevant National Fraud Intelligence Bureau code. These data can be found here:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/602811/count-fraud-apr-2017.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/602811/count-fraud-apr-2017.pdf</a>.</p> answering member constituency Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner answering member printed Mr Nick Hurd question first answered 05/02/2018 16:33:16 answering member 1561 label Biography information for Mr Nick Hurd
