Title: Crime Statistics System (ME): Financial year 1994 dataset
Description: This dataset appears to contain records which were added to the Metropolitan Police's Crime Statistics System between April and September 1994. It is the last of the ME System datasets whose file format predates the changes to the System which were made to facilitate the conversion to Crime Report Information System (CRIS). It includes details of offences, arrests, victims of crime and property stolen. It is thought that like the two preceding datasets for 1992-1993 and 1993-1994 this dataset was originally intended to cover a financial year: i.e. it would have included records input to the ME System between April 1994 and March 1995. For reasons which are unknown, the dataset does not contain any records which were added to the system after September 1994. In some cases the entry in the Offence-Year-Input field predates April 1994 if the record relates to an arrest which was input after April 1994. Equally, many records relate to offences and arrests which were originally reported at a much earlier period than the date when the record was input: the earliest entries in the Offence-Date-YY field relate to offences which were reported in 1988 (these relate to arrests which were added after April 1994). The time period covered by this dataset suggests that the data in it should be duplicated in the financial year dataset for 1994-1995 (MEPO 36/7). This dataset consists of one table: YTDEXTRACT95, containing details of offences, arrests, victims and stolen property.
