Combines regular information on crimes recorded by the police
with results from a special survey of police records on the
circumstances and victims of violent crime, and corresponding
results from the latest British Crime Survey. Concludes that
although assaults did increase between 1981 and 1987, the police
recorded crime figures appear to overstate this rise. Considers
the reasons for this, one of which may be differences in
recording methods. 2 references.
