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.
St Leonards has a population of approximately 4,500. It is mainly urban and has a mix of elderly and young residents. The population continues to expand with the building of new houses and estates. A lot of community activity centres around the shops on Magdalen Road, which has a wide variety of retail outlets and cafes. Crime levels are low and the main problem in the area seems to be sporadic incidents of vandalism.
Newtown has a population of approximately 5,400. Again, it is urban and has a mix of young and elderly residents. Within Newtown lies Belmont Park and the community association hut located in the middle of it. These form the focus of nearly all of the community and social events that occur within the neighbourhood. Crime is at a roughly average level for an area of this size and it is focused mainly on the commercial areas.
