Abstract

Nationally, small area (LSOAs) were ranked by recorded crime rate and grouped into deciles for May 2020 relative to previous five Mays. Decile rate changes relative to expected from previous five years. Key findings: • Previously high-crime areas saw the largest crime declines. • Previously-low-crime rate areas experienced crime increases. • Urban centres saw the greatest crime drops in absolute (but not necessarily relative) terms. • Public order crime increases likely reflect breaches - or perceived breaches - of lockdown rules. Some crime increases, including drugs and weapon offences, may reflect changes in police activity
