- AC1.6- Police recorded crime statistics (home office)
- definition: made with the purpose to allow the police to be able to efficiently analyse crime patterns and then as a result be able to create the appropriate policies and strategies
- how can public access it: going online to the website www.police.Uk then type their postcode in then will be able to view crime stats on a map, then they select different types of crime to see where offences were committed
- streangths:
- ethics: privacy for both victims and offenders as they cannot be identified from the data
- reliability: data is based off of official police reports so will be reliable and accurate as the police have standardised procedures they must go through (national crime recording standards)
- validity: police will receive first hand info from victims and offenders so it valid, police ensure all incidents are followed up and recorded
- limitations:
- ethics: personal/fear people wont want to report crimes
- reliability: different police forces will have different procedures
- validity: only 60% of reported crimes get recorded
- compare: lack of parity (equalness)
- PRCS: provides trends and patterns in offenders and crimes which tells the police where and what to prioritise
- PRCS: not all crimes that get reported get recorded, doesnt include dark figure of crime
