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 bustling Cathedral City of Truro is the centre for administration, commerce and tourism. The name of Truro is meant to represent the three rivers that converge on the inland city; The Kenwyn, The Truro and The Allen. It is Cornwalls only city and in the 12th Century there exisited a castle on what is now The Courts Of Justice.
Truro is a historic Market town, full of diversity and is cosmopolitan. There are two indoor markets the Pannier and Lemon street, with the Pannier being the largest. Lemon Quay is visited twice weekly every Wednesday and Saturday when the farmers market comes to town. Saturdays also tend to see Art & Craft and Food & Drink fayres being held on Lemon Quay in large marquees.
The city is also home to wonderful variety of specialist shops, cafes and the national brands, making Truro a shopping heaven.
The Boscawen ward lies within the centre of the city which borders Pydar and St Clements street on the north side and extends to Old Falmouth road to the south. The ward although large in size, the police and its partners are very active and work closely together to ensure Truro is a safe and pleaseant experience for all. This is highlighted in the Nationally recognised Shopwatch, Offwatch and Pubwatch schemes.
There are several Neighbourhood Watch Schemes that are active within the ward where the police and local residents work together to identify local issues
