OVERVIEW OF VICTIMISATION IN SCOTLAND
The 2023-24 Scottish Crime and Justice Survey shows around one-in-five adults (19.9%) were a victim of at least one crime covered by the headline survey. This includes property and violent crime, as well as for the first time, crimes of fraud and computer misuse.
When considering the previous headline measure of property and violent crimes combined, while the prevalence and volume of these crimes have increased since 2021-22, they remain at similar levels to the pre-pandemic position in 2019-20 and below that in 2008-09.
