Incidence rates are an average which takes into account that some people or households are victimised more than once. Average number of offences per 100 households or 100 adults (incidence rates) ‘Personal offences’ are when respondents themselves are the victim of crime, rather than their household (for example, assaults). ‘Household offences’ are when the respondent’s household is the victim of crime rather than the respondent personally (for example, burglary). While there was no statistically significant change between 20 for either household or personal incidents, both fell between 20 – by 40% and 25% respectively. It’s estimated that 497,000 (almost half a million) household incidents and 1,375,000 (1.4 million) personal incidents occurred in 2013.
