Crime Facts and Figures In Britain, every time the police catch a criminal the crime is recorded in the British Crime Survey (BCS). This includes the numbers of murders every year, and also less serious offences like shoplifting. Over the coming slides you will see a series of figures blanked out. In your groups you should guess the % or exact figure. Write down in one persons jotter and keep quiet, prizes to be won!!

Crime Statistics Between 2014-15 and 2015-16: Crimes recorded by the police in Scotland _________ by 4% from 256,350 to _________. Decreased - 246,243

WHO DECIDES WHAT IS A CRIME AND WHAT IS NOT? THE POLICE? THE GOVERNMENT? SOCIETY? RELIGIOUS GROUPS? YOUR FAMILY? THE MEDIA? Discuss, which group do you believe should decide on what a crime is? Why?

Ultimately it is the Government who decide what is a crime or not. Democracy means we can take part in the law making process. Vote for parties who will pass laws that affect us e.g. fox hunting, smoking ban.

Why do we need crime statistics? How is Crime Measured? British Crime Survey (England and Wales) Scottish Crime Survey (Scotland) Why do we need crime statistics?
