Incidence rate of online crimes against wholesale and retail businesses in England and Wales in 2018, by type of crime
(in incidents per 1,000 premises)
* Data based on incidents in the 12 months prior to survey. Surveys were conducted between September to December 2018.
** The source adds that "the figures shown for website vandalism relate only to those respondents that said they had a website, i.e. the incidence rates are per 1,000 premises with a website, rather than per 1,000 premises in general. This means the unweighted base for these numbers is smaller than the unweighted bases for other crime types. Similarly, the estimates for individual online crime types do not add up to the total shown, as the unweighted base for the total is the number of premises that were asked any of the online crime questions."
