HC Deb 30 January 1996 vol 270 c700W
Sir Andrew Bowden

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what number and proportion of recorded crimes were committed against people aged over the state retirement age in(a) 1975, (b) 1985 and (c) 1995; and if he will provide a breakdown by type of recorded crimes. [10202]

Mr. Maclean

Information on the victims of recorded crime is not routinely collected by the Home Office. However, extracts from an ad hoc survey giving, information on the age and gender of victims of recorded offences of violence against the person for 1990 to 1992 were published in "Criminal Statistics, England and Wales, 1994", a copy of which is available in the Library.
