Commercial Victimisation Survey, 2018

<p></p> <p><br></p> The <i>Commercial Victimisation Survey</i> (CVS) provides a source of information on crime and crime-related issues as they affect businesses in England and Wales. It provides additional detail on the extent of crime to be used alongside the other main sources of information on crime. These are the <a href="http://discover.ukdataservice.ac.uk/series/?sn=200009" title="Crime Survey for England and Wales" target="_blank">Crime Survey for England and Wales</a> (CSEW) (formerly the <i>British Crime Survey</i>), which covers crimes against private individuals and households, and the Police Recorded Crime statistics, which cover crimes reported to the police. In common with the CSEW, the CVS also includes crimes that are not reported to the police. The <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/police-recorded-crime-open-data-tables" title="Police Recorded Crime" target="_blank">Police Recorded Crime</a> data tables are available from the GOV.UK website.<br> <br> The CVS was conducted in 1994, 2002, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017 (at present, the Archive only holds data from 2002 onwards) and the survey has been commissioned to run in 2018.
