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 whole area is densely populated with a large proportion of social housing along the riverbank linked to its industrial heritage. Neighbourhoods around Jesmond and parts of Heaton are affluent, and a large proportion of homes near to the City Centre are popular with the student community. Included in the sector is Clifford Street Police Station, and a number of notable features, including the substantial Government buildings housing the DWP and HMRC at Longbenton, Freeman Hospital, major retail streets at Shields Road and Chillingham Road, and a vibrant night time economy on Osborne Road and the Ouseburn valley; the river running through Jesmond Dene.
