B7 Vehicle crime down from 1582 to 1104

B7 Robbery down by 38.4%

We would expect the following three to be on the increase as they have a very low reporting rate and therefore increased may seem to be very large but only equate to one or two more incidents

These figures are April 02/03 compared with April 03/04

B7 Domestic Violence recorded crime is up from 881 to 1265

B7 Racially aggravated recorded crime is down from 137 to 111

B7 Homophobic recorded crime is up from 13 to 22

NB: structured Counselling is outside the waiting times (marginally) this can be attributed to non attendance at sessions by clients which can be expected within chaotic drug user community.
