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 Bere Peninsula area includes Bere Alston, Bere Ferrers, Buckland Monachorum, Crapstone and surrounding villages and hamlets. It is mainly rural including the edge of Dartmoor National Park, mainly used for intensive livestock farming.
Many residents travel to Plymouth, Tavistock and further to work but there are local businesses and significant farming and horticultural enterprises. Most villages are growing, with housing developments underway.
New families are moving in, raising the number of schoolchildren. There are three excellent primary schools at Bere Alston, Buckland and Gulworthy, and most pupils move on to Tavistock College.
This is a very safe place to live with very low crime rates. Most issues centre around minor damage and nuisance behaviour. The local PCSO can be regularly seen walking through the local towns, especially Bere Alston but also Buckland Monachorum and Bere Ferrers and Crapstone.
