"Figure 3: Trends in Crime Survey for England and Wales violence, year ending December 1981 to year ending December 2016","" "","" "","" "Notes","1. Prior to the year ending March 2002, CSEW respondents were asked about their experience of crime in the previous calendar year, so year-labels identify the year in which the crime took place. Following the change to continuous interviewing, respondents' experience of crime relates to the full 12 months prior to interview (that is, a moving reference period). Year-labels for the year ending March 2002 onwards identify the CSEW year of interview."
