FOI request detail

Crime and crime rates prior to 2009

Request ID: FOI-0038-2425
Date published: 22 April 2024

You asked

Good afternoon, I understand the TfL holds data to 2009 and some prior in their crime and anti-social reports for the financial year of 2003 but do you hold data prior to that? I am looking to construct a timeline of crime on the London Unground from as furthest I can get data back but I am unsure as to who would hold such data. It does exist as there is a Hansard record of citing crime statistics for 1987 to 1990 on the Undergound titled 'London Underground: Crime Statistics Volume 514: debated on Thursday 25 January 1990' Do you hold such information, or do you know who might hold information or any archived copies of your crime and anti-social behaviour reports prior to the financial year of 2009?
