Title
Crime Statistics System (ME): 1990 dataset
Date

1990

Description
This dataset comprises data which was input to the Metropolitan Police's Crime Statistics System between January and December 1990. It includes details of offences, arrests, victims of crime, property stolen and reports classified as"No Crime" (defined as"an allegation where the evidence is insufficient to establish that a crime has been committed"). It should be noted that in some cases the entry in the Offence-Year-Input field in the YTDEXTRACT90 file predates 1990 if the record relates to an arrest which was input between January and December 1990 (i.e. the value in the Arrest-Year-Input field should be '90'). Equally, many records in YTDEXTRACT90 and YTDNOCREXT90 relate to offences, arrests or"no crimes" which were originally reported at a much earlier period than the date when the record was input: e.g. the earliest offences recorded in the Offence-Date-YY field in YTDEXTRACT90 (excluding what are thought to be missing and invalid values) appear to date from 1979. This dataset consists of two tables: YTDNOCREXT90 (containing data relating to allegations classed as"No Crime"), and YTDEXTRACT90 (containing all other data input to the database, i.e. details of offences, arrests, victims and stolen property).
