The Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) is a measure of multiple deprivation at Super Output Area level. The IMD has seven domains, one of which is the Crime Domain.

The purpose of the Crime domain is to measure the incidence of recorded crime for four major crime themes:
1. burglary
2. theft
3. criminal damage
4. violence

This version of the Index was first published in 2004. See http://www.communities.gov.uk/documents/communities/pdf/131206.pdf for further details.
