1 - Please can you provide a breakdown for a) and b) all Leeds wards on total crime and breakdown by sub groups e.g. Robbery personal and business etc. For each year going back to 2010 to current full year. 2 - a breakdown of total knife and gun crime in each local authority and by ward for each financial year going back to 2010. Can the data be presented in the same format as log 4164/16. 3 - for knife crime a breakdown for Leeds and that shows a breakdown e.g. Attempted murder, robbery, serious injury etc. Can this be provided for the last 5 years including the most recent?

Please see the attached document.

It is important to note that these figures do not solely refer to knives. They also cover articles with a blade or point. This can include a piece of broken glass or bottle and also includes offences where threats are made to use a knife but no knife is actually seen.

West Police takes a victim led approach to crime recording and we have made some good improvements as to how crime is recorded which is reflected in the consistent numbers across the 3 year period

The number of people aged under 18 reported to be in possession of articles with a blade or point, or a knife has increased. Since this increase Police have placed dedicated Safer Schools Officers who work in partnership with secondary schools across the county. As part of their role, Safer Schools Officers speak to young people about the dangers of carrying a knife and the potential consequences.

The Force has also recently supported a national campaign around knife crime, which included enforcement activities such as weapon sweeps, test purchase operations and educational visits.

West Yorkshire Police are committed to prosecuting anyone found to be possessing or using a knife or firearm. The work of our partners and community based projects is important, as is the vigilance of families who believe one of their relatives may carry weapons. Tackling it requires everyone to work together through a variety of approaches, from school inputs and awareness campaigns, to weapons surrenders which are always successful in taking weapons out of circulation, to actively targeting offenders.

Crime in Leeds by ward, 01/04/2010 to 31/03/2019

Notes Figures represent the number of crimes recorded during the period which: - were not subsequently cancelled - occurred in the Leeds district The counting rules for Burglary changed in April 2017 - Burglary - residential changed to include all buildings within the boundary of a dwelling (e.g. sheds) - Burglary dwelling (pre April 2017) did not include these, therefore figures are not comparable to Burglary - residential These figures may be subject to further investigation, reclassification and cancelling and will therefore change over time Crime classifications based on Home Office Counting Rules for Recorded Crime https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/counting-rules-for-recorded-crime
