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.
This area covers the settlements of Bovey Tracey, Moretonhampstead, Heathfield and the villages of Liverton, Ilsington, North Bovey, and Manaton, with a population of around 12,000.
Active and enthusiastic Town and Parish Councils support the whole area, and being a largely rural area the communities tend to be small, established and very close-knit.
Crime is not a serious problem in this area. The main problems that do emerge involve minor incidents of antisocial behaviour caused by small groups of individuals and situations involving the consumption of alcohol.
These incidents are not excessive and but they can affect the quality of life of local residents. This is an issue that is taken very seriously and work is being conducted with partnership agencies to address it.
