Violent Crime in Britain: 1945-2000

[Greensinge]

Hola,

I have a presentation to do in a weeks time and I'm having major difficulty finding any information on the net for the topic, which as you can imagine is not really very helpful :(

The question I am supposed to be answering is:

"Which types of violent crime and violent property crime have become more common in Britain since the end of World War Two?"

Basically, I have been searching for a few hours to try and find some kind of British crime report that dates back to 1945 (I have already managed to find the most recent crime reports, which are useful, but pointless without the older ones too).

If anybody knows anywhere on the web or any particular books I could look at, I would be majorly grateful (what a great reward, I know!).

Thanks to anybody who manages to help!

A quick google search turned up the "British Crime Survey" which unfortunately seems to only go back 25 years, and includes only England and Wales. Ummm, you could try delving deeper into that site perhaps.

Sorry not to be of great help. Although regarding Scotland you could probably just say "knife crime" and get an A.British Crime Survey
