It means figures for serious violent crimes rose by 22% compared to last year - rather than showing a fall as previous figures appeared to indicate.
The mistake happened when some crimes classed as "grievous bodily harm with intent" were recorded as less serious.
Figures say overall crime is down, and ministers say these can be trusted.
The government says it does not know how long the undercounting has been going on - leading to concerns that figures on violent crime may have been wrong for up to a decade.
Whilst they kept saying the world was all well the facts were somewhat different. Tough on crime, tough on taxpayers and soft on criminals and that is a fact.
For higher crime vote Labour.
