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 town of Honiton is set in the heart of the beautiful Devon countryside and has a population of more than 13,000. It is the gateway to east Devon and is a busy market town with links to the pottery and lace industries.
It emerged as a coaching stop on the busy London to Exeter route and by the mid-19th century there were some 24 coaching inns. That traditional hospitality continues today with the town offering visitors a warm and friendly welcome.
The current population is varied and has grown considerably over the past 10 years as the road links between the town and Exeter have improved.
Honiton is an extremely safe place to live with the likelihood of being a victim of crime falling well below the national average. In addition, incidents of serious crime are very low indeed.
The main concern is spontaneous incidents of criminal damage committed by people making their way home after evenings out in the town. There are also issues around the fear of crime, much of which is influenced by differing views on what is acceptable in relation to antisocial behaviour.
