The conventional wisdom also holds that crime modernized over the period of the industrial revolution in the 19th century and that this process involved changes in both the content of crime and the levels of organization behind it. However, much English crime appears modern from a fairly early date. The homicide statistics from various sources and locations suggests a slight decline from the 13th century to 1600 and sharp decline over the middle of the 17th century. The pattern is less clear for property offenses. They clearly were the most frequently indicted felonies in the 14th century, and the great decline in homicide in the 17th century was accompanied by a reduction rather than an increase in property offense prosecutions. The analysis includes that both past and current crime must be considered in the context of other factors. These include the level of economic development, the complexity of the social structure, the family, religion, perceptions of community, the nature of law enforcement, and law enforcement personnel.
