Abstract

The offence of child abduction is part of the Violence Against the Person category of police recorded crime. Whilst the offence forms only a small proportion of all Violence Against the Person offences (just 0.1% in 2002/03), the total number of offences recorded by the police increased by 45% in 2002/03 from the previous year, to 846 offences (Simmons and Dodd, 2003). The main types of offence constituting the total number of recorded child abductions across England and Wales in 2002/03 are examined here. Reasons why these offences may have increased so dramatically from the previous year are also discussed.
