Knife Crime Statistics December 2008 The Home Office released figures claiming that there had been a drop in knife crime Sir Michael Scholar complained that –the figures had been released prematurely and –were incomplete. – he said that officials had asked the government not to release "unchecked" and "selective" figures and that doing so eroded public trust. Home Secretary Jacqui Smith apologised for the incident, telling MPs the government had been "too quick off the mark" in releasing the figures

Knife crime statistics December 2008 Analysis against the Code of Practice for Official Statistics Unclear description Selective or otherwise inappropriate comparisons Lack of contextual information Inappropriate conclusions being drawn Unsubstantiated claims.

BBC's Home Affairs Editor says that the UKSA concluded that far from playing fast and loose with the regulations, the Home Office and Number Ten “drove a coach and horses through them". "were being mangled and manipulated to make the case that the government's knife crime campaign was having a rapid impact".

Violent Crime Figures UKSA Press release recent political and media debate about trends in violent crime has misrepresented the data and is, therefore, damaging trust in official statistics. in particular at comparisons between recorded violent offences in the late 1990s and 2008/09 comparison, without qualification, of police recorded statistics between the late 1990s and 2008/09 as likely to mislead the public.

Watchdog: Grayling 'likely to damage' trust in statistics Shadow Home Secretary Chris Grayling has just been sent a sharp letter from Parliament’s statistics watchdog telling him that his use of figures in violent crime is "likely to damage public trust in official statistics".
