Please note the following points;
4. to establish if an occurrence “concerned mate crime”, a search was conducted for “Mate Crime” in the MO Free text
6. Urban – Rural separation was made by using Address Ward Code NPT.
7. has been grouped as per requesters groupings but has excluded where the victim age was “blank”.
Please also be aware that Police forces in the United Kingdom are routinely required to provide crime statistics to government bodies and the recording criteria is set nationally. However, the systems used for recording these figures are not generic, nor are the procedures used locally in capturing the crime data. It should be noted that for these reasons this force’s response to your questions should not be used for comparison purposes with any other response you may receive.
