Crime Type and ASB Charts for Stonehouse

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.
Stonehouse is the most ethnically diverse neighbourhood in the city. While there are some deprived areas, crime has been falling and during the last 12 months we have seen a substantial drop in recorded crime. It is a mainly an urban area with the exception of Victoria Park, which is the second largest green area in Plymouth.
As there are three neighbourhood beat managers covering Stonehouse, the neighbourhood has been divided up into the following three areas and teams.
North Stonehouse
This is the area bounded by Stoke Road, King Street, Western Approach and Victoria Park.
Included in the area are two of Plymouth's main Churches, the Roman Catholic Plymouth Cathedral of St. Mary's and St. Boniface's which is clearly visible thanks to its tall spire, and the Church of England St. Peter's which has recently had a major renovation.
Mid Stonehouse
This is the area bounded by Union Street, High Street, King Street and Western Approach.
Although the area is geographically small it is also one of the main gateways into the city centre and is used heavily during the day and through into the evening as Union Street is the main late-night entertainment area of the city and can attract thousands of people especially at weekends.
Within the area the Neighbourhood Policing Team also have strong links to Plymouth Foyer, a Devon and Cornwall Housing Association building that contains 50 beds for young people aged between 16 to 25 who are undertaking training and life skills.
South Stonehouse
This area consists of the Stonehouse Peninsula and Millbay areas. It contains a mix of residential properties, business units and the Millbay ferry port. As part of the Millbay regeneration project there are many new developments being built which will rapidly increase the number of residents living in the area.
We are tackling antisocial behaviour in the area caused by young people in cars (who some people refer to as ‘boy racers’) around Devils Point, Durnford Street, Cremyll Street and the ferry port.
The team has good links with security staff at the ferry port and the Royal Marines barracks. We are also regularly in contact with the boat section of the Ministry of Defence Police given that the southern edge of the patch is bounded by water.
The area remains a safe place to live with the likelihood of being a victim of crime falling below the national average.
