Annotation	The British Crime Survey (BCS) is a large household survey of people's experiences and perceptions of crime in England and Wales, and provides an index of crime which can be compared to offences reported by the police. The themes covered in this survey include the extent of crime, reporting to the police, violent crime, burglary, and fear of crime. The survey also examines trends in crime since the first survey in 1981, and since the previous on in 1995. Although older people are perceived as being most fearful of crime, they were less likely to be the victims of crime, when compared with younger age groups. (RH).
