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.
Street Pastors
Street Pastors engage with people on the streets has introduced volunteer street pastors from six local churches to help make the streets feel safer by working with people to resolve a number of issues. A street pastor is someone from the Christian community who is willing to care, listen and help people, especially the vulnerable and young. They get to know people in the community by building relationships with them to discover their needs and what can be done to help them. Street pastors operate each weekend on a Saturday night between 10pm and 4am. They have a set patrol covering the High Street, Fore Street and Wilder Road, and also patrol Combe Martin during special events.
