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.
Okehampton is a bustling market town situated at the Northern edge of the Dartmoor National Park. It is quickly accessible from the main thoroughfare, the A30, which goes through Devon and Cornwall.
Okehampton has a population of around 7,200 people. The population continues to expand with new developments currently being built and planned.
Much of the activity - whether commercial, social or policing – is focused in and around the town centre due to the high concentration of shops and licensed premises found there.
Okehampton is a safe place to live with the likelihood of being a victim of crime falling well below the national average. In addition, the incidents of serious crime are very low indeed. The main problems are antisocial behaviour, spontaneous incidents of vandalism and shoplifting.
