ViewCrime
Crime encompasses a wide range of issues that lie within the remit of several academic disciplines, including sociology, psychology, law and economics.
As a theme, crime may cover various topics, ranging from contemporary concerns over youth gangs and anti-social behaviour, through white collar and corporate crime, including crimes against the environment, to serious violence. Crime-related data held by the UK Data Service include not only national crime surveys (which themselves cover diverse issues such as identity theft and alcohol-related disorder in the night-time economy) but also illegal drug use, workers in the criminal justice system, football hooliganism and community policing in Africa.
