[holding answer 11 January 2007]: Data are for Stockport Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership (CDRP).
Recorded crime data by CDRP were first collected centrally in 1999-2000, but for certain offences only. A full data collection followed in 2000-01. Therefore, data for violence against the person are available from 1999-2000 and for theft and criminal damage from 2000-01.
The available information is given in the table.
1999-2000 2000-01 2001-02 2002-03 2003-04 2004-05 2005-06 Violence against the person 3,218 3,470 3,543 3,809 4,313 4,427 4,409 Theft and handling n/a 13,246 13,402 13,017 12,053 10,380 10,578 Criminal damage n/a 7,021 7,468 6,831 7,304 6,722 7,387 Note: The National Crime Recording Standard was introduced in April 2002 which means these figures are not directly comparable with those for earlier years.
The available information is for the Peterborough Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership area and is given in the following tables.
Number of violent crimes 2001-02 3,202
Number of violent crimes 2002-03 5,203 2003-04 5,855 2004-05 5,827 2005-06 4,775 Note: The National Crime Recording Standard was introduced nationally in April 2002. Figures after that date are therefore not directly comparable with those for earlier years.
