Neighbourhood Watch North is the safest place to live, work and visit in England, the Office of National Statistics has confirmed. Published today (Thursday 16 July 2015), the “Crime Statistics for England and Wales, year ending March 2015” report places the Police area as the lowest crime location in England. There was a total of 34,617 crimes in North Yorkshire. This reflects the continued determination to tackle crime in the county with a slight rise in crime - 0.5% increase, 168 more crimes - in comparison to the same period in 2013-2014. Broken down into the main crime categories, the ONS figures for North Yorkshire show:  Domestic Burglary reduced by 13% (1,371 crimes in total, down 196 from ,1567), with overall Burglary down by 6% (3,960 crimes in total, down 258 from 4,218)  Criminal Damage and Arson down by 9% (5,097 crimes in total from 5,615)  14% reduction in Vehicle Offences (2,207 crimes in total, down 363 from 2,570)  Robbery increased by 25% (146 crimes in total, up 29 from 117)  8% decrease in Theft Offences (16,831 crimes in total)  Sexual Offences up by 50% (1,054 crimes in total, up 352 from 702). As previously explained, this rise is generally regarded as a positive reflection of the confidence victims have in North Yorkshire Police, particularly those making historical complaints. This is also influenced by Operation Yewtree and Operation Hibiscus (Jimmy Savile/Peter Jaconelli investigations), and the opening of a Sexual Assault Referral Centre (SARC) in York two years ago.  Violence Against the Person went up by 20% (7,366 crimes in total, up by 1,128 from 6,138). This rise is almost entirely attributable to the Violence without Injury category. This includes Common Assault and Harassment offences. A problem profile conducted on trends in this crime http://dailyquenchers.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/1-shocking-places.jpg category in the Autumn of last year showed improved recording following a recent HMIC inspection, an increase in historical reports, increased pro-activity around enforcement of orders and improved victim confidence.  Drug Offences increased by 15% (2,085 crimes in total, up 272 from 1,813)  Possession of Weapons Offences up by 26% (230 crimes in total, up by 47 from 183)  Public Order Offences decreased by 1% (1,238 crimes in total, down by 18 from 1,256)  Miscellaneous Crimes Against Society, which includes the possession and publication of extreme sexual images, was up by 35% (570 crimes in total, up by 148 from 422).
