Historical crime figures

Prior to 2002/03, recorded crime statistics were published in the annual Report of the Chief Constable.  These reports were published in calendar year format from 1968 until1997.  Since then, reports have been based on financial years (April to March).  Scanned images of the relevant crime tables from these reports, dating from 1968 until 2001/02, have been made available via the links below.

Please Note:  Caution should be taken when comparing crime from these time periods with figures from more recent years, particularly figures reported before and after April 1998.  This is due to changes and improvements in crime recording practices and systems over time, and also changes in crime classifications and categories.  Further information on these changes can be found in the User Guide to Police Recorded Crime Statistics in Northern Ireland.

Comparisons of crime from 1998/99 onwards are available through the following links:
