520 |a It is widely known that police recorded crime data provides only a partial picture of the true extent of crimes, with surveys identifying a large number of ‘hidden’ victims. Often referred to as the dark figure of crime, this gap between police records and ‘true’ level of crime has been attributed to a range of influences, including an unwillingness for some victims to report their experiences to the police, coupled with selectivity in police recording practices and errors in the translation of police records into official statistics. Studies have also demonstrated the potentially severe implications of failing to account for these hidden crimes for the veracity of models of crime data. Comparing police records against victim surveys presents us with a potential framework to generate corrected model estimates. But to date we know little about the nature of under-reporting and recording at the local area level, with victim surveys generally only suitable for regional or broad police force-level comparisons. In this chapter we explore a novel solution to this problem, using a synthetic population dataset to examine the extent to which police recording practices vary systematically across England and Wales. Designed to match the UK population on basic demographics as measured by the census, and with each resident given a victimization profile derived from the Crime Survey for England and Wales, this synthetic population enables an examination of the extent of crime undercounting at a range of spatial scales.
