The rules were revised to take account of the vocr::~;$ introduction of the Association of Chief Police Officers (Clliod t~ (ACPO) National Crime Recording Standard which was adopted on 1 April 2002. Further revisions have also been made to take account of the revised NCRS which came into effect 1 April 2003. The rules have been written by the Research Development and Statistics Directorate (RDS) of the Home Office. Advice and development were provided through a working group that comprised members of RDS, police force regional representatives and representatives of ACPO and Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC) and the Crown Prosecution Service.

I.C)NIDON HOME OFFI(I COUNTING RULES FOR RECORDED CRIME APRIL 2003 A Whether & When to Record (1 of 4) This section has been substantially revised to reflect the introduction of the National Crime Recording Standard (NCRS). The main aims of the Standard are: • To promote greater consistency between Police Forces in the recording of crime; and • To take a more victim oriented approach to crime recording. NCRS was instigated by research from ACPO, the Home Office (Review of Police Forces' Crime Recording Practices, Burrows et al, HORS 204, 2000) and Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary (On the Record, HMIC 2000) that revealed a lack of consistency in recording practices across police forces. This was particularly marked in the proportion of incidents that were recorded as crimes. The original NCRS has been revised with effect from 1 April 2003 and a full copy of the revised version of the NCRS doctanent is attached as Annex A to the General Rules section. Incident Reports ALL REPORTS OF INCIDENTS, WHETHER FROM VICTIMS, WITNESSES OR THIRD PARTIES AND WHETHER CRIME RELATED OR NOT, WILL RESULT IN THE REGISTRATION OF AN INCIDENT REPORT BY THE POLICE The reasons for registering all incidents include the need to ensure Forces have all available infolmadon in relation to possible crimes in their area and to allow an audit trail to be created, to ensure consistency of crime recording between Forces. Where a report is recorded as a crime initially (e.g. telephone report direct to CAme Management Unit), it is not necessary that an incident report is also created. However, where the report is not recorded as a crime, an auditable incident report should be registered (whether in the Force Incident System or some other accessible or auditable ITleal'l$). Whether to Record • AN INCIDENT WILL BE RECORDED AS A CRIME (NOTIFIABLE OFFENCE) IF, ON THE BALANCE OF PROBABILITY: (A) THE CIRCUMSTANCES AS REPORTED AMOUNT TO A CRIME DEFINED BY LAW; AND (B) THERE IS NO CREDIBLE EVIDENCE TO THE CONTRARY Any reference to a crime elsewhere in section A ('whether and when to record') means a recorded crime or notifiable offence, as defined by the Home Office and listed in the counting rules chapters. Notifiable offences do not cover all criminal offences, as most summary offences are not nofifiable. The Police will determine whether the circumstances as reported amount to a crime defined by law, based on their knowledge of the law and the counting rules. The test to be applied in respect of recording a crime is that of the balance of probabilities i.e. is the incident more likely than not the result of a criminal acO In most cases, the belief by the victim (or person reasonably assumed to be acting on behalf of the victim) that a crime has occurred is sufficient to justifyits recording, although this will not be the case in all ci~umstances.

HOME OFFICE OOUNTING RULES FOR REOORDED OUME APRIL 2003 A Whether & When to Record (2 of 4) Where apparent criminal activity comes to the attention of the Police, and the alleged victim confirms that a crime has taken place but declines to support any Police action, a crime should be recorded. A victim's refusal to supply details is not reason in itself for failing to record a crime. Rmm/a orm c~ms that d~e crinr tod¢ place (and d~e is no otrlible eudore to d3e ct~nO,), t~a ~efieses to stq~plypersoml details and do~s not ~nt d~e nntter taken anyfiml~. Where there are grounds to suspect that a victim related crime (i.e a crime requiring victim confimaation for it to be complete) may have taken place but no victim (or person reasonably assumed to be acting on behalf of the victim) can immediately be found or identified, the matter should be recorded as a crime related incident until such time as the victim is located or comes forward. Apparent or possible criminal activity, such as damage to bus shelters, telephone kiosks, forensic items (blood) etc, which does not in itself amount to evidence of a crime, coming to the attention of the Police after the incident either personally or via third parties, would not initially be recorded as a crime but as a crime related incident and enquiries should be carried out to locate the victim.

Reasonable enquiries should be undertaken to identify specific victims and secure any supporting evidence which would enable further police action in terms of arrest or summons. Where enquiries fail to identify any victim or produce supporting evidence the incident will remain as a crime related incident. Where police arrive at a scene and witness disorder, they will deal with the matter appropriately and where notifiable offences are apparent record a crime in accordance with the Home Office Counting Rules.

HOME OFHCE OOUNTING RULES FOR KEOORDED CRIME APRIL 2003 A Whether or When to Record (3 of 4) When tO Record A CRIME SHOULD BE RECORDED AS SOON AS THE REPORTING OFFICER IS SATISFIED THAT IT IS MORE LIKELY THAN NOT THAT A CRIME HAS BEEN COMMITTED The timing should be the earliest that the police force's crime recording system allows. Any dehy should be made only if there are administrative difficulties that prevent immediate recording, or (in some forces) if an initial record needs to be validated by a nominated officer before confirmation and recording. Recording should not be dehyed in order to wait for further details of the case, including the likelihood of a detection. THE TIMING OF A RECORDED CRIME, FOR THE HOME OFFICE STATISTICAL RETURNS, SHOULD RELATE TOTHE DATE IT IS RECORDED. So for example, a crime that was committed in September, but reported to the police and recorded as a crime in October, should be included in the recorded crime total for October. ONCE RECORDED, A CRIME SHOULD REMAIN RECORDED UNLESS THERE IS CREDIBLE EVIDENCE TO THE CONTRARY. Credible evidence to the contrary amounts to the circumstances listed in section C, in which case the crime should be 'no-crimed'. A CRIME COMMITTED OUTSIDE ENGLAND AND WALES SHOULD ONLY BE RECORDED IF IT INVOLVES AN INVESTIGATION BY THE FORCE TO WHICH IT IS REPORTED. (This does not include homicide, which is already cove~ed by law). HC)ME OFFICE RESEARCH. DEVEI.OPMENT & STATHTIC~ DIRECTrORATE. ROOM R44.50 C)I ~EN ANNE'S GATE.

  • Imagereal Capture
    Some Aspects of Theft of Computer Software by M. Dunning I. INTRODUCTION The purpose of this paper is to test the capability of New Zealand law to adequately deal with the impact that computers have on current notions of crimes relating to property. Has the criminal law kept pace with technology and continued to protect property interests or is our law flexible enough to be applied to new situations anyway? The increase of the moneyless society may mean a decrease in money motivated crimes of violence such as robbery, and an increase in white collar crime. Every aspect of life is being computerised-even our per­ sonality is on character files, with the attendant )ossibility of criminal breach of privacy. The problems confronted in this area are mostly definitional. While it may be easy to recognise morally opprobrious conduct, the object of such conduct may not be so easily categorised as criminal. A factor of this is a general lack of understanding of the computer process, so this would seem an appropriate place to begin the inquiry. II. THE COMPUTER Whiteside I identifies five key elements in a computer system. (1) Translation of data into a form readable by the computer, called input; and subject to manipulation by the introduction of false data. Remote terminals can be situated anywhere outside the cen­ tral processing unit (CPU), connected by (usually) telephone wires over which data may be transmitted, e.g. New Zealand banks on­ line to Databank. Outside users are given a site code number (identifying them) and an access code number (enabling entry to the CPU) which "plug" their remote terminal in.
