Crime outcomes in England and Wales 2023 to 2024

Product Description

This bulletin reports on investigative outcomes that police forces have assigned to notifiable offences recorded in England and Wales (excluding Devon and Cornwall) between 1 April 2023 and 31 March 2024. Findings are presented separately for victim-based and non-victim-based offences.

The distribution of outcomes varies greatly between these 2 groups, with some outcomes more relevant to particular offences. In addition, the distribution of outcomes varies because some offences take longer to investigate than others, leading to a higher proportion of offences in the category ‘outcome not yet assigned’. As investigations are closed this will lead to changes in the distribution of outcomes for such offences, which can be seen in subsequent releases of data tables on a quarterly basis.
