In September 2011, Other Crime was divided into 6 categories - Drugs, Public Disorder & Weapons (which was later split further and so is not displayed here), Criminal Damage & Arson (CD&A), Theft - Shoplifting, Theft-Other and Other.
From May 2013, the following changes were made to the crime categories:
I) The violent crime category was renamed "violence and sexual offences"
2) A new category for "bicycle theft" was created which previously fell within "other theft"
3) A new category for "theft from the person" was created which previously fell within "other theft"
4) Public disorder and weapons were then split into two new categories; "public order" and "possession of weapons"
5) Both "other firearms offences" and "other knives offences" which were in "other crime" were moved into "possession of weapons".
The Economic Policy Centre www.economicpolicycentre.com has made every effort in order to ensure that the data for UkCrimeStats is accurate and up to date. However, we are aware of certain deficiencies in this data which are beyond our control. That's because as a 3rd party developer, we do not collect the data, the Police do who then hand it over to another data company to release to 3rd party developers such as ourselves. We only download and analyse it so that you can use it. For full detail of these deficiencies, please read here.
The neighbourhood of Dawlish Rural is comprised of Dawlish Warren, Cockwood, Starcross, Kenton, Mamhead, Ashcombe and Powderham. It has a population of approximately 10,500 in the winter and this increases to more than 70,000 in the summer thanks to the numerous holiday parks (For more information on the local tourist sites and amenities click on Castle and Beach.
The size of the area presents many challenges to providing a visible police presence. It is however a very safe area to live in which can be evidenced by the very low crime figures, and the fact that incidents of serious crime are very low indeed.
The main problem is the lack of facilities for teenagers in the rural villages, which can cause friction between the older and younger residents. There are also regular reports of speeding vehicles passing through the area.
