1. Overview

The indicators have been grouped according to our coalition priorities, which are described in the Home Office business plan 2013 to 2015.

2. Cut crime

Support the police in cutting crime through work to: improve police accountability, transparency and integrity and public trust; improve police efficiency and effectiveness; lead targeted action on key crime types, such as anti-social behaviour; ensure police powers and regulations are proportionate and effective; protect vulnerable victims; and join up with work across the wider Criminal Justice System.

These indicators are classified as input and impact indicators. You can view the impact indicator measurement annex, and the input indicator measurement annex.

Cost per head of population of total police force cost (input indicator):

Crime rates - violent and property crime reported to the police (impact indicator)

The size, value and nature of organised crime and our success in diminishing it and its profitability (impact indicator)

This sets out figures on the scale of the organised crime activity in the UK as well as the coverage and disruption of these criminals and their groups. It should be read in conjunction with the UK Threat Assessment which sets out the scale of the threat to the UK from organised crime.

  • Number of known organised criminals: 38,861 as of 30 June 2011
  • Number of organised crime groups: 7,255 as of 30 June 2011
  • Percentage of organised crime groups subject to law enforcement action
  • Numbers of substantial disruptions to organised crime groups: data is expected to be available soon
  • Estimated scale and costs of organised crime to the United Kingdom: data is expected to be available soon

Further information

  • Information about the size of the organised crime market is presented in terms of the numbers of organised criminals and organised crime groups (OCGs) identified by law enforcement agencies and recorded on the organised crime group mapping (OCGM) database (these figures relate to the UK with the exception of Scotland; figures for Scotland are not yet included in these OCGM figures).
  • Coverage of the organised crime threat refers to the proportion of known OCGs that are subject to substantial action by UK law enforcement agencies; such action is defined as Tiers 1-3 of the Tiers of Operational Response.
  • The number of substantial disruptions indicates levels of successful tackling of OCGs through law enforcement-led activity - disruption is achieved when an OCG is assessed to be unable to operate at its usual level of activity for a substantial period, or where substantial disruption to organised crime markets has taken place (disruption may be achieved by any interventions by relevant agencies that fall within the themes of:
    • stemming the opportunities for organised crime to take root
    • strengthening enforcement against organised criminals
    • safeguarding communities, businesses and the state, as described in the organised crime strategy, Local to Global Reducing the Risk from Organised Crime (2011).
  • In addition, updated estimates of the value and nature (scale and social and economic costs) of organised crime in the UK are being developed.
  • Notes on the data.
