Scottish Crime Recording Standard: Crime Recording and Counting Rules

Part Two

Part 2 is available on request, please contact justice_analysts@gov.scot if required.

The Annexes included in Part 2 will assist when recording crime. Each Annex is broken down by Crime Group with each crime type providing an abbreviated definition, who the victim/complainer is, the locus of the crime, how the counting rules apply, any notes pertinent to the recording and the relevant SGJD code. It must be recognised that it is impossible to cover every conceivable crime and scenario and therefore the manual concentrates on crimes in common use.
