The future of recorded crime and police activity statistics: consultation

We are consulting on the production and dissemination of Scotland’s recorded crime statistics, and on the possible development of new analysis on other types of policing activity. The responses we receive will help inform our long term strategy for the delivery of crime and policing statistics.
