(1) Eastleigh and Southampton Basic Command Units were restructured in April 2000. Notes: 1. Expanded offence coverage and revised counting rules came into effect on 1 April 1998. The figures in this table are therefore not directly comparable with those for earlier years. 2. Offences detected in any given year may have been initially recorded in an earlier year and for this reason some percentages may exceed 100.

(1 )Following a force restructuring, Eastleigh Basic Command Unit ceased to exist from 2004-05. Notes: 1. The data in this table takes account of the introduction of the National Crime Recording Standard in April 2002. These figures are not directly comparable with those for earlier years. 2. Data for England and England and Wales includes the British Transport Police from 2002-03 onwards. 3. Offences detected in any given year may have been initially recorded in an earlier year and for this reason some percentages may exceed 100.

Sarah Teather: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many violent crimes were committed in each London borough in each year since 1997. [87492]

Mr. Coaker: The available information is for crime and disorder reduction partnership (CDRP) areas and is given in the following tables. CDRP data are only available centrally from 1999-2000.

In April 2002, the National Crime Recording Standard was introduced to ensure greater consistency in recording and took a more victim-orientated approach, which increased the crime count, particularly for violent crime. For these reasons, figures over this period are not comparable when they cross the time boundary.
