Crime Type and ASB Charts for Whitleigh
|
|
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.

Working Together
As your local neighbourhood police team, we know only too well that tackling crime and anti-social behaviour is not just a job for the police.
Besides relying heavily on the co-operation of the local community, we also work very closely with various partner organisations and individuals in the city.
We have a particularly close working relationship with a wide range of staff from many different departments of Plymouth City Council who are valuable in terms of helping us make your neighbourhood a safer and better place to be.
For example we rely on the Council's Anti Social Behaviour Unit for specialist help in securing ASBO's, court injunctions and drug den closures. We work alongside this unit and local housing officers in any cases where residents may be evicted from their homes.
When it comes to common problems such as graffiti, littering, dog fouling and noisy neighbours, we join forces with the Council's Environmental Protection Team to deal with offenders.
And in dealing with young people who are either causing trouble in their local communities - or are likely to get drawn into anti social behaviour - we team up with the Youth Offending Service, various other Council youth services and local schools.
