Motivation
Based on UN’s Survey of Crime Trends published in 2006, comparisons were made for OECD countries by CIVITAS Institute for the Study of Civil Society. Comparisons are based on six of the most serious crimes: intentional homicide, rape, robbery, assault causing serious bodily harm, burglary and vehicle theft.
England and Wales have one of the highest crime rates among OECD countries for rape, robbery, assault and burglary. We therefore aim to investigate the spatial variation of crime across different districts in England and Wales, and the relationship between crime and socio-economic characteristics for each district.
