Saferview - crime, fear and mapping: The problem with crime statistics is people think they understand them

http://saferview.blogspot.com/2013/11/the-problem-with-crime-statistics-is.html

Saferview - crime, fear and mapping. Saturday, 23 November 2013. The problem with crime statistics is people think they understand them. I understand Simon Jenkins point of view in his Guardian article Police crime figures are meaningless. Ban them. He extols the virtues of the British Crime Survey statistics, the other half of the official crime statistics which also need to be interpreted with extreme care. Saturday, November 23, 2013.

Saferview - crime, fear and mapping: October 2012

http://saferview.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html

Saferview - crime, fear and mapping. Thursday, 4 October 2012. Usually when the 80/20 figure for crime is quoted it refers 80% of crime is committed by 20% of people (which incidently is wildly inaccurate for most types of crime - more like 99.9% of crime committed by 0.01% of people). But there is a new use. The report can be found here. The is a very important report because it is attempting get police forces to change focus yet again. I will comment further in future post.

Saferview - crime, fear and mapping. Saturday, 19 February 2011. Crime Statistics, are the Statisticians to blame for lack of confidence? Sir Michael Scholar, the UK's National Statistician, pictured above, has been asked by the Home Secretary to carry out a review of crime statistics with the purpose of increasing public confidence in them. He has published a questionaire that can be found here. It would a mistake for it to be given to the UK Statistics Authority as I think that one of the major proble...

Saferview - crime, fear and mapping: November 2012

http://saferview.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html

Saferview - crime, fear and mapping. Monday, 26 November 2012. Do you understand crime? The graph here is the same data but collated by calender year with a table showing the counts. The difference between the two is almost as much as the recorded crime figure. Why are so many reported crimes not not recorded as such? What is more important the incident figure or the counted crime figure? Monday, November 26, 2012. Links to this post. Tuesday, 20 November 2012. Kevin Hurley Crime Commissioner for Surrey.
